Today, April 3, we held a workshop on interpreting enslavement for the Texas Historical Commission’s (THC) Real Places conference. The workshop convened at the Neill-Cochran House Museum in Austin (NCHM), and the panelists included Kristin Gallas of Muse Consulting, Dr. Rowena Dasch (executive director of the NCHM), Dr. Tara Dudley (UT), and myself (Fermata Inc.). THC’s Charles Peveto moderated our workshop.

We were able to unbox the six interpretive panels that Fermata designed for the newly restored NCHM slave quarters for the first time. The installation of the panels will take place on April 15.

Thanks to all who attended the workshop, and for all of the input from and participation by the attendees.
