At this year&#39;s AAM meeting, I led an Idea Lounge discussion called, &quot;What Makes Historic House Tours So Boring?&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; A large and lively audience shared great perspectives in wide-ranging discussion.&nbsp;&nbsp; As a result, a colleague and I have begun a new project .&nbsp; We are seeking information on historic houses that have compelling tours or other ways to engage their visitors.&nbsp;&nbsp; It might be an exemplary school program, an innovative use of landscape, a museum theater presentation, work with contemporary artists, or perhaps, a site that allows their visitors the time and space to explore on their own.<br>
<br>We&#39;re from the Northeast, so we have a fairly good list from this part of the world, but are seeking examples both in the United States and internationally.&nbsp;&nbsp; Let us know if your site is compelling, or if, as a visitor, you have experienced other sites that have left a lasting impression on you.&nbsp;&nbsp; Tell us about the site, the tour, activity or program, and the effect it had on you or other visitors.<br>
<br>Thanks so much!<br><br>Linda Norris<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Read my blog:<br><a href="http://uncatalogedmuseum.blogspot.com">uncatalogedmuseum.blogspot.com</a><br><br>Linda Norris<br>Riverhill<br>PO Box 232<br>Treadwell, NY 13846<br>
