Default Does anybody have experience making augmented reality for historical sites?

There is a historic site in the Lakes Region that would be nice to see the original structures in their exact locations through one's phone camera.

Here is a large-scale example at Cahokia Mounds near St. Louis, MO.

https://cahokiamounds.org/augmented-reality-project/

I just want to do a couple of simple structures.

If I understand correctly, there are two components:

1. 3D modeling

2. Geolocation

I have tried free apps that will let you import a quacking duck on your kitchen floor. What I want though is to go to the historic site, place the 3D structures, and then create a QR for others to go see them in their original locations too.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

Edit: I have held back the actual location because I'm just hoping to at least create a rudimentary version of AR to show the historical society and conservation commission. In other words, I don't have any authority at the location. I just want to show people what the possibilities are in a good-natured way.
