The Winedale Museum Seminar is a ten day residential training program
designed to improve the quality and promote the continuing development of
museums, historical organizations and cultural institutions. The seminar is
open to staff members and experienced volunteers of museums, historic sites
and cultural organizations of all sizes.  Participants are selected through
an application process.  Topics include:  administrative issues, grant
writing, trustee relations, volunteer management, interpreter training,
object research, historical photos, educational programming, living
history, marketing, program evaluation, design and fabrication of exhibits,
conservation of collections, security, web site design and special events.
Twenty participants live dormitory style at the Winedale Historical Center
a property administered by the Center for American History, University of
Texas.  The peaceful environment creates an ambiance noted for enhancing
concentration on seminar issues and enabling participants to relax and
escape the stressful pressures of the workplace.  Home cooking, large
porches with rocking chairs and beautiful sunsets over the small lake
offset the intense pace of seminar activities.  A registration fee of $550
covers room and board and all materials including a seminar manual.
