Interpretation
Tap your byway’s opportunities to enhance visitor experiences through interpretation. It’s about telling your story in an interesting, concise, relevant and memorable way. Even more, interpretation helps your byway’s intrinsic qualities make emotional and intellectual connections with visitors and create richer meanings for them. Learn about the interpretive process and specific interpretive methods, from static exhibits to “living history.”
