try liberty hall in Frankfort, ky, gunston hall in va, Stenton in Philly, Dumbarton in dc -----Original Message----- From: Museum discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Rachel Abbott Sent: Monday, October 12, 2009 2:12 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Historic House Museums I am about to start working on my thesis project for my MA in museum studies. I am going to focus on historic house museums and their relevance for the U.S. right now. I am trying to determine the design of a study and thinking about case studies of a few sites. My question is: what are the most cutting-edge historic house museums in the U.S. right now, as far as programming goes? Especially programming meant to maintain the house's relevance to its community. I would appreciate any and all thoughts. Thanks!
