This webinar will explore how institutions can broaden LGBTQ+ interpretation at their sites, covering strategies such as engaging staff and board members, collaborating with peers to expand programming, and reaching new audiences. We’ll begin with case studies from two organizations (the small-scale Gibson House in Boston and the larger Historic New England, covering 38 historic properties), highlighting their journeys toward more inclusive interpretation. These examples set the stage for the groundbreaking exhibition and publication The Importance of Being Furnished: Four Bachelors at Home, which explores the queer histories of four New England historic homes (Beauport, Codman Estate, Gibson House, and Pendleton House at the RISD Museum). | Date & Time: July 10, 2025 from 3:00 - 4:15 pm EST | Pricing, information, and registration.
