Connecticut Landmarks, an organization that owns twelve
significant historic properties in Connecticut, has grappled with these
challenges, and has developed an interpretive planning team to re-examine the
historic house museum experience and its relevance to increasingly diverse
American audiences.
This blog shares with the greater museum field the process
we have taken to find community at the Joshua Hempsted House in New London,
Connecticut. The contributors to the
blog include the interpretive planning team as well as individuals that participate
in various stages of audience research.
Museum professionals will be able to see the twists and turns of our
research and planning, and share their thoughts, feedback, and experiences to
the process.
