A Massachusetts Historical Society online program with William Hosley of Terra Firma Northeast will take place Monday, November 9, from 5:30 – 6:30 Eastern time.
Massachusetts has more house museums and historical organizations than most states twice our size. In recent years there’s been a national conversation about the sustainability of house museums. Our presenter argues that this widespread, mostly small class of museums vary tremendously. While many of our community-based historical organizations preserve and present their collections in historic houses, a house museum is something different. We will hear from three outstanding ones that are grappling with the usual challenges of audience engagement, preservation and interpretation.
Please note, this is a free online event held on the video conference platform, Zoom. Registrants will receive an email with links to join the program. Register at www.masshist.org.
