Interpretive Plan for E. St. Julien Cox House
The Society worked with Nancy O'Brien Wagner from Bluestem Heritage group to develop a new interpretive plan for the Eugene St. Julien Cox House's exhibits and programs. The National Association of Interpretation's recommendations were used as the framework for the new plan for this home that is listed in National Register of Historic Places.
The focus of the interpretive plan was shifted from the decorative late-19th century furnishings of the home and Eugene's personal history to the daily life of his wife, Mariah and daughters, Lillian and Irene. The world of Victorian women during the period of 1890-1898 will be interpreted for the public.
