I contributed to the creation of the "Beyond the Ballot: The League of Women Voters’ Environmental Impact" exhibit at the Albert Gore Research Center, which highlights the League’s advocacy in Murfreesboro, from local land use and recycling initiatives to national environmental issues. My work included assisting with object selection, crafting exhibit labels, curation, and helping design the exhibit layout to ensure the narrative flowed effectively. I also contributed to outreach programming and implemented preservation measures to protect artifacts before they went on display. This exhibit not only celebrates the League’s impact on voting rights but also sheds light on its lasting environmental influence in the community.
The Cannonsburgh Village Collections Assessment Report, conducted in collaboration with MTSU’s Center for Historic Preservation and public history graduate students, evaluates the village’s extensive collection of artifacts to determine their historical significance, physical condition, and role in preserving Murfreesboro’s cultural heritage. The report aims to identify strengths and weaknesses within the collection, assess preservation needs, and provide strategic recommendations to improve collections care and interpretation ahead of the 2026 U.S. Semiquincentennial. Ultimately, it seeks to ensure Cannonsburgh Village remains an engaging, educational resource that effectively honors and communicates the community’s history to present and future audiences.
