Times are Changing!

Today’s museum-going public differs greatly from previous generations, and what about the future?

How can historic house museums remain relevant to their audiences, when terms as “the old home place” and “family” now carry different definitions than they did for the original occupants?

Attend a three-day museum conferenced centered on new teaching styles for the multiple generations who could be attracted to your museum.
