Project Overview
Partner Organizations: Winona County Historical Society and Theatre du Mississippiona Winona County Historical Society and Theatre du Mississippi will partner to produce a new interpretive program for the Historic William Bunnell House in 2015. They will conduct research to produce an hour-long script based on the lives of families who lived in the house and the period they lived there. This new program will create a purpose for a house museum which has been languishing. It will be a new approach to operating a historic house museum that draws on the creative and historical strengths of the partners.
