Cindy G. and I did the morning tour today, and as we were getting organized, Marie mentioned that a number of evaluations have suggested more time in the castle. So, we decided to move the family histories into the great room of the castle--the Warners beside their display, EA's story beside his, and the story of Della's time with WP Stuart beside his. This had the advantage of allowing more time in the castle and less time in the sun. We also did the basement information in the kitchen, but I think a fair number of folks have already moved the basement info into the castle.
Anyhow, although there were some rough edges since we were making this up as we went along, it seemed to work well, and based on the evaulations, the guests enjoyed it--of course, our tour guests usually seem to enjoy the tours, which is what makes it all so gratifying and so much fun.
I think that's a great idea, Patsy!
ReplyDeleteThat could definitely be very beneficial in future tours.
Doing more of the family history in the castle make sense plus you have the story board for pictures. Sounds like a good possibility.
