Living in the Past: Managing Historic Houses

by Samantha Engel, The Dow Gardens

Friday, August 18 from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.

workshop-emblem

Why are historic houses necessary to their communities? How are historic
house museums unique? Participants of this workshop will explore answers to
those questions while learning more about management, collections, and
interpretation issues specific to house museums. Other discussion topics
will include programming; maintenance and security concerns; landscaping;
and the development of effective interpretive themes, story lines, and
tours.

If you are a personal member of HSM or represent an organization that itself
is a member of the Society, registration is $39.

Registration for non-members is $79 and includes a one-year HSM Individual
Level 1 membership.

New for 2017! Participants can now "attend" remotely, if they prefer,
through Zoom Video Communications and will be able to interact with the
speaker and other attendees.

For in-person attendees, refreshments will be available. Lunch is on your
own.

First Female Flier in Michigan: Harriet Quimby

Harriet Quimby wanted to fly. Born in Michigan in 1875, Harriet Quimby was a
journalist who began flying lessons after attending an aviation show. 

Harriet passed her flying test in 1911, becoming the first U.S. woman to
earn a pilot's license. She was also the first woman to fly the English
Channel. Sadly, Harriet died in a flying accident in 1912. Two Michigan
historical markers and the National Aviation Hall of Fame honor her memory.
