HERITAGE SITES PROGRAMMING AND SPECIAL EVENTS

GROUP TOURS

PROGRAMMING Heritage Sites will continue to offer a wide range of Historic programs, such as living histories, tea and wine tastings, murder mysteries and historic walking tours. Program locations will shift from the Museum to other sites, including the Humphrey House and Stellwagen Farm. Heritage Sites will also venture into new programming based on best programming practices and innovation; staff will conduct a program inventory analysis and fill in any missing gaps in programming on a regular basis. Existing programs will also be evaluated and any programs no longer serving the public, based on registration numbers, will be modified, postponed or canceled based on the program life cycle.
