This substantially enlarged and expanded second edition of New
Solutions for House Museums: Ensuring the Long-Term Preservation of
America's Historic Houses provides advice for historic site
stewards that have concerns about the financial sustainability of
their historic house museum and its relevance to its local
audience. Seven new case studies have been added for the second
edition. The new case studies reinforce the book's central argument
that not every historic house museum, whether founded 100 years ago
or last month, can be sustained long-term. Three of the new case
studies are from diverse historic sites, showcasing how African
American, women, and other minority-focused historic sites are
pioneering new ways to commemorate their histories and interpret
fascinating stories to visitors, with the end goal of creating
financially sustainable historic sites that are relevant to their
audience. New interviews have been conducted with the ten existing
case studies from the first edition to bring them up to date. The
new edition adds two new reuse options to the eight introduced in
the first edition. This chapter describes how to identify and
implement a reuse decision, costs and advisors needed, and tips on
decision making. There is a new chapter-long interview with Tom
Mayes, Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel for the National
Trust for Historic Preservation, on recent legal and ethical issues
facing historic sites. Another new chapter provides advice on the
essential role of the historic site's Board of Directors as the
decision maker for any reuse exploration. The second edition of New
Solutions for House Museums contains a new introduction to the
second edition, an updated conclusion, bibliography, and index.
