The short term and intermediate goals established in the measurable outcomes of the application were achieved. A survey was conducted asking for community members input for possible exhibition themes. The majority of the themes they wanted to see as exhibits are in the final interpretive plan. Through informal discussion and observations, we learned that our visitors want and will enjoy more interactive, hands on exhibits in the museum. Our plans for the museum's 2nd floor include exhibits with more interactive, hands on exhibits than are currently presented in the museum. Since this is the first phase for the 2nd floor exhibit gallery, our long term goal of the initial ideas proposed in the interpretive plan will resonate with the proposed audience when viewing the exhibition has not happened yet.
