Wow, thank you all very much for discussing your experiences with this
issue. I decided to begin a dialogue with the arts council members who were
in charge of the original furnishing of the house in 1982 and pursue other
local resources as well. It will be a long road ahead, but I feel that your
advice has already helped shape my methods for research, exhibit
development, and eventual re-interpretation.
Thanks again!!
