UAlbany's Geography and Planning to offer digital tours through Albany Rural Cemetery

It's GPS — but for a cemetery.

A group of faculty and students at the University at Albany Department of Geography and Planning unveiled the Albany Rural Cemetery Explorer program Saturday, which will allow visitors to take a digital tour through the iconic, 178-year-old cemetery.

ARCE currently has mapped out dozens of gravesites of notable people buried at the cemetery, like former Albany mayor Erastus Corning 2nd or Chester Arthur, the 21st president of the United States. It also features the locations of people who participated in the Revolutionary War.
