Strategic Planning & Inclusive Interpretation for Hoptown

4/1/2017

 
Museums of Historic Hopkinsville Christian County
​Hopkinsville, KY
Strategic interpretive plan and conceptual exhibition development for a re-envisioned core exhibition about the history of Hopkinsville, Christian County, and the surrounding region. Hopkinsville lies at the crossroads of U.S. history like few other places--settled by Revolutionary War veterans, a well-worn supply station along the Trail of Tears, birthplace of Jefferson Davis, dividing fault line between the slave-holding plantations of the Confederacy and smaller family farms of the Union, center of agricultural industrialization and the tobacco wars, key stop on the Chitlin circuit,...just to name a few. Housed in the historic 1914 Hopkinsville Post Office building, MHHCC lies at a crossroads of a different kind--transitioning from an institution that tells the stories of collected objects through a narrow lens, to one whose collection can now be curated to celebrate the diverse stories and experiences of life in Hopkinsville. This new plan envisions a cultural resource to help anchor a revitalized downtown and engage local and regional audiences in exploration and dialog.

Facilitated discovery and design studio sessions with NMAI exhibition team (designers, educators, developers) resulting in concept development for a select number of digital interactives as well as prototype development and testing of an interactive multi-player game (Cropetition) focused on the agricultural science behind the Three Sisters (corn, squash, and beans)

The imagiNATIONS Activity Center opened to the public on May 17, 2018. 
"The only problem with the exhibit is that it's too sticky.  We can't get kids to stop playing."
- NMAI exhibit team member
