---------------- Robin Gabriel Executive Director Kaminski House Museum Let me clarify my original question a bit. I'm especially looking for information about how small sites are dealing with the lack of volunteers needed to keep a site open for visitor tours. Has anyone had success with alternative ways to keep a site open and not use docents/volunteers, especially given the lack of security barriers in historic houses. Thanks, Robin I'm looking for examples of small historic house museums who have implemented alternative ways for on-site visitors to view the house, other than docent led tours. -------------------- Robin Gabriel Kaminski House Museum Georgetown, SC 29440 All e-mail correspondence to and from this address may be subject to public disclosure under the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
