Media Monday

Hello Everyone! 

This weeks Media Monday post focuses on the videos we have collected on our tablets so far this summer. Monthly we have been adding a variety of videos demonstrating or explaining various aspects of the museum. Catie has generously volunteered to be our star in many of the videos and Kelsey, Melanie and I have taken turns being either the camera man or the narrator. We have had almost too much fun making the videos… as well as some very, very funny bloopers. So far we have videos of using some heritage toys that we sell in the gift shop, demonstrating the original doorbell that still works on the museum, explaining the rope beds and also some of the antique toys and tools throughout the house. Catie has created an extensive list of other areas of the house and grounds that we can focus on in our upcoming videos. Some aspects that I am very excited about is making butter, quill writing and candle making. We recently acquired a number of tablets that will be displayed throughout the museum. These tablets are where visitors can view our videos and understand more about some of the more interesting objects in the museum. We are also planning on adding a compilation of all the videos onto our YouTube channel - therefore visitors can view the videos at their own convenience as well.
