RE: Come for the Happy Hour, Stay for the History! - 3 Suggestions for Historic House Museums
Yeah! I saw incredible crowds on the Strawberry Mansion Bridge when they had it there. The question is how to keep connecting with the audience after the happy hour has passed.
Though they weren't marketed/affiliated with historic sites, did any of these events have any kind of exhibit or site connection once people got there?
Example: I went to a circus show/sunset picnic at the Woodlands (it was awesome) that also had an Entomologist discussing and exhibiting wildlife found at the site. It seemed a really perfect way to draw people in with a monthly event while also connecting people to the site and demonstrating some programming.
Like, if they have a pop up beer garden in Fairmount Park, I think you'd be able to make an awesome exhibit about Brewerytown or German brewing or whatever you want, Ted! I would def attend...
