History aficionados can even use the app to partake in one of Newcomb's most exciting events: Teddy Roosevelt Weekend!

During TR Weekend, users can use the app to navigate to events with fun things to see and do for the whole family.
Users can download the Experience Newcomb app today on the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store and receive push notifications of upcoming events, weather conditions, and more.
