My favorite Museums…Consider themselves a partner in our efforts to bring
visitors to the Fredericksburg Region Team PlayersWork within the system
Communicate with us often – and far in advance of special events and unique programming
Carefully consider the Visitor Experience in their planning and when making key decisions about hours of operation, pricing and policyConsider the external user over the internal one
Strike an appropriate balance between preservation and interpretation
My favorite museums work to create consistent, compelling, and relevant
interpretation for the traveling public. So that, in my Marketing and Public Relations efforts
what I tell a potential visitor they will experience when they arrive in Fredericksburg
they will actually experience.
