Texas State Preservation Board (Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum)

The Bullock Texas State History Museum will design on-site programming to engage more Texas families in history. The project will provide online resources and create conversation between historical institutions about their relevance to families. The museum expects to grow the level of engagement with history among its family audiences, increase the number of family visitors to the museum, and develop a statewide online community of families connected by a common interest in understanding how their history relates to the history of the world around them. An evaluation will guide the museum's work, and enable the museum to develop strategies that can be used by other institutions to increase their relevance to family audiences. The museum will create a toolkit of resources, evaluation results, and lessons learned to be shared with other museums.
