FOREST COUNTY POTAWATOMI MUSEUM

Lord Cultural Resources, in collaboration with Bluewater Studio and WeatherstonBruer Associates, was engaged to redevelop the Museum's exhibition to tell the stories of the Forest County Potawatomi to new generations of tribal and non-tribal visitors. Working closely with the Museum team and in consultation with community stakeholders and Elders, Lord Cultural Resources developed the Interpretive Plan and led the Content Development work for the new exhibition.
