This program is designed to be a jumping off point for any historic house, regardless of size, that wishes to engage in historic holiday interpretation.

This discussion will focus on using what you already have in your archives and collections to craft a unique experience for your patrons, giving you the opportunity to reach new audiences and create a new revenue driver at a time of year that can traditionally be difficult for attendance.
