Reopening of Peralta Hacienda to public audiences and school groups and the implementation of new public programs.

Peralta Hacienda has served the community throughout the pandemic. The organization had to suspend or reduce tours, school field trips and public events, but has implemented new programs such as the Learning Hub and free food distribution that have helped the community in innovative ways, redefining what a museum can do, while continuing its core humanities activities such as exhibit development. This project will reopen the museum itself, re-initiate public events, restart its tours programs including school field trips, finalize and premiere community stories exhibits that have been designed during lockdown, help the community process the coronovirus experience, and celebrate the renewal.
