It's public today - my decision to resign after more than six years as the executive director of the Bolduc House Museum. Writing has occupied much of my time at the museum. I created Zuts the Bolduc House Museum Squirrel and developed his voice on Facebook, the website and a quarterly article in the museum newsletter which I also wrote. The bolduchouse.org website content was written by me even though the squirrel takes credit for it except where his pages have been hacked by some cats.... Manuals, interpretive panels, exhibits, brochures, grant requests - the whole experience has been a huge honor and a challenge. I'm so proud of what I have done.
But I am a writer through and through. And my new adventure will allow me to focus on much more specifically on my writing. So watch me.
About Me
- Lesley
- I have discovered that walking a very narrow path leads to broad places of peace, contentment, and provision. I work as a freelance consultant in the areas of cultural heritage, public history and museums, From 2009-2016, I was the executive director of the Bolduc House Museum in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, (now called New France - the OTHER Colonial America, an eighteenth century French colonial historic site and National Historic Landmark.) My PhD is from the University of Leicester's (United Kingdom) Department of Museum Studies. My research looked at the interpretation of diversity at the American Historic House Museum. I also developed and facilitate an inspirational program for Christian grandparents, Gathering Grandparents.
