Permalink: https://www.eventscribe.com/2019/AAMers/fsPopup.asp?mode=presInfo&PresentationID=490129

In this panel, speakers from three historic sites share the challenges they face on a daily basis as they juggle the often conflicting needs of today’s visitors and yesterday’s historic sites. The conversation will range from the unique challenges posed by heritage architecture, the potential for technological innovation in historic sites, and the challenges of interpreting the often complex stories of the past.

Learning Objectives:

• Upon completion, participants will learn some of the challenges of creating experiences in small heritage spaces
• Hear firsthand accounts of working with heritage architecture.
• Upon completion, participants will learn useful ways to balance the needs of both conservation and education
