Hello,
I am a summer intern at a historic house museum
developing an interpretive landscape plan. Staff and docent-led tours
of the mansion. and carriage house are currently provided. We are at the
early stages of researching and gathering interpretive material of our gardens
and grounds for docent, staff, and visitor use.
The historic house itself was built in the 1830s–1840s
but the formal garden was planned in 1914. We have additional newer
gardens part of our grounds—herb garden, wild flower garden, and a kitchen
garden.
I would like to learn a bit about your process in
developing such material and know if/how similar institutions have interpreted
their landscape,and incorporated their grounds and gardens into the
history of the main building, etc. I am in the early stages of compiling the
information and am interested in any formats or brochures that have been created
for visitor use. Any insight and/or materials you would like to share on/off the
list serv would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Jessie M. Noda
