Kristie,

A complex issue.  The community wants an interpretative program, but
you want "little to no signage."  I think you are looking for an impossibility,
unless you have volunteer interpreters.  If not, then just a short and
quick sign describing the schoolhouse's history, and throw in a historic
picture or two.  You cannot get any less cut and dry as that * EXCEPT
a sign that reads "A brick schoolhouse was once on this site".  ;o)

I'm looking for interpretation ideas for a small neighborhood park.  The park is on 
the former site of an 1800s brick schoolhouse that was razed in the 1970s.  The 
community is trying to gain support for park funds through an interpretative 
program that would honor the former school.  
I know that that's not much information, but any ideas/examples would be greatly 
appreciated.  I am specifically trying to find interpretive plans that are creative, 
concise and include little to no signage.

Thanks for your help,
Kristie Lockerman
