Comprehensive Interpretive Plan
To hire a qualified consultant to write an interpretive plan for Pope County Historical Society.
$4,500,000 the first year and $6,500,000 the second year are for history programs and projects operated or conducted by or through local, county, regional, or other historical or cultural organizations or for activities to preserve significant historic and cultural resources. Funds are to be distributed through a competitive grant process. The Minnesota Historical Society must administer these funds using established grant mechanisms, with assistance from the advisory committee created under Laws 2009, chapter 172, article 4, section 2, subdivision 4, paragraph (b), item (ii).

Our stated short term goal was "a comprehensive look at the museum collection, an evaluation of local stories, and identification of potential collection needs. This goal was missed. The consultant did not conduct enough local research in local resources to reach this goal.
Our intermediate goal is "a cohesive message from the Pope County Historical Society." We have this goal fairly well in hand. The interpretive plan did not offer new information or suggestion to significantly alter our message.
