SUMMARY:Webinar - History in the Shadows: Incorporating Dark Tourism at Historic Sites
DESCRIPTION:Museums around the country embrace the Halloween season by tapping into the growing phenomenon of dark tourism to captivate and educate visitors. The John Jay French Museum in Beaumont\, Texas embraced the allure of spooky season by partnering with a paranormal investigation team to delve into unexplained occurrences surrounding the historic house museum. Together\, they hosted an October event that revealed their findings to the community. \nShelby Brannan and Karli Stansbury discuss this innovative program\, its alignment with the museum’s mission\, and the logistics of planning for such a unique event. Learn how this initiative attracted new visitors\, many of whom never engaged with the museum before\, and how dark tourism can create educational and engaging opportunities for heritage organizations. This webinar is perfect for those curious about integrating Halloween’s spooky charm into museum programming along with the importance of balancing sensitive historical narratives with community engagement and tourism development.

SUMMARY:Inviting Our Littlest Learners: How to Create Space and Activities for Early Childhood Education in Your Museum Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Museums are uniquely positioned to extend programming to the littlest of learners through early childhood education offerings. \nMuseums already pique curiosity\, promote social connection\, and offer object-based learning opportunities for students and adults. By creating specialized programs for littles\, museums lay the foundation for lifelong learning. \nJoin Beth Brandon\, Multi-Generational Programs Manager at the Indiana Historical Society\, for an insightful session on how the IHS engages with a new\, young audience – children ages 2-5. Discover how the IHS invites young learners into their spaces and programming by offering hands-on activities\, interactive exhibits\, and enriching experiences designed specifically for this age group. Beth will guide you through the entire process\, from initial idea development to execution\, including securing board support\, designing age-appropriate activities\, creating accessible spaces\, and effective marketing strategies. \nAttendees will gain actionable ideas and insights to create meaningful early childhood programming in cultural and historical spaces.
