Evaluation of current interpretive offerings at the Dr. Calvin Jones House and development of a new interpretive plan for the museum.

The Wake Forest Historical Museum requests funding to strengthen public interpretation of the Dr. Calvin Jones House, a circa 1820 Federal-style home in Wake Forest, North Carolina. This project will involve evaluating the existing interpretation, researching relevant humanities themes, identifying new interpretive approaches, producing a digital and publicly available interpretive plan, and creating a robust interpreter training program.
