National Willa Cather Center Mobile and Web Apps

Use this app to experience a Willa Cather tour, either in person or from wherever you are! Our new mobile apps (also available as a web-app for use on your desktop computer) for iOS and Android provide self-guided tours of the Willa Cather Childhood Home, the American Bittersweet exhibit, and the town tour while providing bonus collections material, historical photos and audio tour support. These projects were made possible through a National Endowment for the Humanities CARES Act grant. To learn more, click here.

Virtual Cather Tour Website

Virtual Cather gives students, teachers, and guests a content-rich, interactive way to experience Willa Cather’s Red Cloud—from around the state or the world! Featuring historic photos, audio and video scenes from Cather’s work, and interviews with noted Cather scholars, the Virtual Cather Tour walks visitors through four of Red Cloud’s most important Cather sites and places these sites in context with Cather’s fiction.
