Building on the theories first introduced by Freeman Tilden and the good work done in interpretive planning over the past 15 years, this book provides the reader with the basics needed for developing a strong interpretive master plan for their institution along with first-hand insights.

Elizabeth Nosek holds a degree in cultural anthropology from Hamline University and history museum studies from the Cooperstown Graduate Program. For over 30 years, she has worked in museum education/interpretation for local historical societies, natural history museums, the National Park Service, living history museums, children’s museums, art museums, and galleries all over the country. Whether it was discussing Thompsonian medicine in Old Sturbridge Village’s medicinal garden, developing interpretive site manuals for both the Littleton History Museum and Lakewood’s Heritage Center in Colorado, or creating a long-range education plan for the Mission Houses Museum in Honolulu, Nosek has been on the front lines. She used her intrinsic knowledge to author several articles on guest service and museum education for the Docent Educator and ALHFAM Bulletin and has taught museum education at St. Mary’s college. Her most recent experience of shepherding her institution’s interpretive master plan through from start to finish is the inspiration for this book.
