Our numbers are up significantly this year (over 200%) due largely to the fact that our hours and availability for school tours have become much more consistent with the hiring of a full-time staff. Better marketing has improved our visibility in the community, and I believe we are one of the institutions that has benefitted from the economic downturn (our admission is very low and some of our family events have been free.) We are a small historic house and we're nearing our visitation capacity, so unfortunately we probably will not see a similar increase in 2010!

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Visitation Numbers

I'm just curious about how everyone is doing in terms of visitation this year...are your numbers up, down, the same? Any thoughts as to why?
