Destination Panama City Launches Interactive Glenwood Historical Markers Trail on Otocast
PANAMA CITY, FL— Destination Panama City is proud to announce the launch of the Glenwood Historical Markers Otocast Trail, an immersive, self-guided audio tour now available on Android and iOS devices. This project highlights Glenwood’s rich cultural heritage and historical significance through engaging storytelling and interactive content.
The Otocast platform allows visitors and locals alike to experience the stories behind Glenwood’s historical markers in an entirely new way. Each stop along the trail offers narrated insights and historical context, providing a deeper connection to the community’s past. This initiative reflects Destination Panama City’s ongoing commitment to preserving and celebrating local history.
“The Glenwood community was once a thriving hub of business, culture, and pride for Panama City,” said Commissioner Ward 2, Janice Lucas. “This trail allows us to honor that legacy, sharing the untold stories that will keep Glenwood’s spirit alive for generations to come. It’s a testament to the strength, resilience, and contributions of those who called Glenwood home.”
The Otocast platform serves as an interactive resource for those looking to explore at their own pace. As part of a broader effort to make Panama City’s history accessible to all, Destination Panama City has plans to expand the use of Otocast to include the Downtown Historic Walking Tour, the St. Andrews Historic Walking Tour, and the Panama City Mural Trail in FY25.
“The Glenwood Historical Markers Trail is a welcome addition to Panama City’s growing list of cultural amenities,” said Jennifer Vigil, President & CEO of Destination Panama City. “For history buffs, curious travelers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the places they visit, this trail offers an engaging way to experience our city’s story.
