Partnering with Community

Clayton McLain Memorial Museum

We never received a “how-to-guide” for collaborating with community members here at the MAH, but over time, we have acquired some basic tools that have shaped our approach. We realize collaboration differs greatly for each individual and organization. We offer these tools in the spirit of sharing and look forward to learning about the techniques you use in your own community.

Cultural Perspective Workshop

PROJECTILE POINTS

It was an interesting day of exploring new perspectives on the topic of Projectile Points.

The points in our museum’s collection were somewhat overlooked in the past, positioned on a board in a pretty pattern reminiscent of mosaic tiling and not revealing much of their past.

Workshop leader, Audrey Drever, inspired us to use them as the beginning of relationships, storytelling, programming and exhibits that will educate and illuminate.

Those little pieces of stone are not destined to be mosaic pieces much longer.
