Historic Cherry Hill

Historic Cherry Hill will develop programming aligned with its reinterpretation plan and in preparation for the commemoration of the United States Semiquincentennial and 200th anniversary of the end of slavery in New York. Building upon previous IMLS funding and audience feedback, the museum will conduct historical research on enslavement, transcribe and digitize documents, and create a new tour and programming to share the complex stories of the diverse members of the Cherry Hill household. Museum staff will contract with historians, an interpretive specialist, and an evaluator to assist with the project. The resulting programming and new focus tour will help reshape the interpretation of the museum for the next generation of visitors.
