North Carolina Museums Council

The North Carolina Museums Council has joined in partnership with the Yadkin Pee Dee Lakes Project and the Heritage and Cultural Tourism Partnership of North Carolina to develop a series of monthly training workshops held over 3 years. These workshops will help develop a broad, grass roots network of one thousand trained leaders in heritage and cultural tourism thought all one hundred counties of the state. These leaders will be equipped with the knowledge, skills and a network of professional resources to develop quality heritage and cultural tourism projects in their communities. The project will work to create mutually beneficial working relationships between museums and other cultural and community organizations including historic sites, natural resource organizations, and other community development organizations.
