Sustainability, Relevance and the Future - Day 2 / Panel 3 - Preserving Sites for the Future: How Can We Be the Best Stewards of Buildings and Landscapes? - Summit Recording
Historic buildings and landscapes are, by nature, irreplaceable artifacts. While we may have carefully designed emergency plans to protect these unique resources, how do we ensure that we are best stewarding these assets when modern, commercially available solutions may not be appropriate? As life—and our climate—becomes increasingly unpredictable, it’s important to remain agile, responsive, and calm. While you cannot plan for EVERYTHING, you can be prepared to deal with almost anything. Join our panel to discuss how they approach unanticipated threats to historic buildings and landscapes and offer ways to be prepared when a “plan” doesn’t exist.
Sustainability, Relevance and the Future - Day 2 / Panel 4 - How Can Telling Everyone’s Story Help My Site Be More Relevant? - Summit Recording
July 12: 3 - 4:30pm EST - Since 2007, much of the historic house museum field has embraced broader interpretation of their sites. Curators and interpreters are digging deep in their archives and site histories to include the stories of the enslaved, paid domestic workers, and people whose stories were repressed or ignored because it involved something controversial such as mental illness or LGBTQ+ relationships. This session will highlight sites that have changed their interpretation to be more inclusive and how it has impacted their organization’s ability to connect to audiences in and out of their local community.

Learn about MOMSI and how evaluation can be scaled and implemented for historic house museums and why numbers can’t be our only measure of success.
