Visitors to the Yorktown Museum can now experience history in a new, interactive way, thanks to 17-year-old Kelly Griffiths.

The Yorktown High School senior has lent her voice to an exhibit, providing narrations accessible through QR codes mounted next to various displays.

Griffiths, an Eagle Scout, has created 10 unique narrations, splitting them into two groups: five tailored for children and five for adults. Her passion for history inspired this innovative project, which aims to make the museum's historical content more engaging and accessible.

"History has always been my favorite subject," Griffiths said. "I wanted to share that passion and make learning about our past more fun and interactive."
