Historic Cherry Hill

Historic Cherry Hill will build on previous funding and audience research to complete the final development phase of a new approach to interpretation for the site. Working with an interpretive planner and designer, the museum will focus on the completion of schematic design and design development. The new tour and orientation exhibition will be dialogic, immersive, and inclusive, sharing the complex stories of the diverse members of the Cherry Hill household and exploring themes, such as race, privilege, wealth, inequality, and social justice--themes identified in focus groups to be important to the museum’s target audiences. The project will culminate in a final design book with plans, elevations, and specifications schedules, which will guide the implementation phase to come, helping to reshape the interpretation of the museum for the next generation of visitors.
