Both the Altoona Railroaders Memorial Museum (Peter Barton, Ex. Dir.) and
the Johnstown Area Heritage Association (aka Johnstown Flood Museum and
other sites) (Richard Burkert, Ex. Dir.) have been deeply involved in their
community's development.

Subject:        community development

I am looking for information on instances in which community museums
played significant roles in community or local economic development.
Anyone have anything they can share?
