The Heritage
Interpretation Training Center
Interpretive
Master Planning Courses for 2018
An interpretive master plan is one of
the most important documents any interpretive organization, site, park or
heritage entity can have. It provides an
in-depth analysis of the sites stories, theme, objectives, audiences and
long/short term interpretive development and phasing needs.
Interpretive plans are also a key document for use in writing for grants
for enacting recommended new interpretive services, exhibits and related media.
It
is the goal of these courses to help participants develop a detailed working
draft interpretive plan for their site or organization. You can start the course at any time and work
through the course (working on your actual interpretive planning project) at
your own pace.
We (John Veverka & Assoc.)were recently notified that the
interpretive plan we were contracted to develop for Clemson University, with
our partner landscape architects, Boudreaux, has been awarded a 2018 Preservation Service Award from
the Office of the Governor, Preservation South Carolina and the SC Department
of Archives and History!!! (John Veverka – HITC).

Interpretive Master Planning - e-LIVE.
13 Units, 3 CEU Credits. $275.00
This is our basic
Interpretive Planning course and the same course that I taught at Ohio State
University, Michigan State University, and for contract training world-wide. This course is updated yearly to reflect new interpretive media, marketing approaches and media/new technology costs.
Interpretive Planning for Historic Farms
and Agricultural Sites
13 Units - 4 CEU credits, $300.00 My first interpretive plan years ago was for Malabar Farm State Historic Site in Ohio, and was the base for the first interpretive planning text book ever available (Malabar Farm - An Interpretive Planning Process - 1978). It was used as the interpretive MP course at OSU for many years.
