In the Short term, Museum staff and volunteers were able to better understand the connection between the artifacts and display designed in our WWI Design Layout Plan and this helped Museology add to the Script Narrative.
In the Intermediate term, the future guest/viewer of our McLeod County WWI Display Design Layout will be educated about McLeod County during the Great War, make a personal connection to McLeod County Soldiers who experienced the War, and come away with a deeper understanding of how war, of any kind, in any place effects our lives and impacts everyone. The guest/viewer will also be impacted by how the WWI Script Narrative makes the display come to life via interpretation.The Museum will have a polished, vetted, final WWI Script Narrative for our WWI Display.
In the long term, the public will have an increased interest in the history of World War I and a better understanding by that public of how World War I impacted the United States, Minnesota and McLeod County-changing it forever. We hope this will increase attendance to the McLeod County Historical Society by the public to view the World War I display. An increase in Knowledge about the history of World War I and McLeod County's involvement.
