<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Memorandum <br />To: Historical Commission <br /> From: Bridget Bacon, Museum Coordinator <br /> Date: March 11, 2020 <br /> Re: Museum Coordinator’s Report <br />I’m happy to announce that Kaylyn Mercuri is the Historical Museum’s new Museum <br />Technician! She will particularly focus on Outreach Services, including outreach to schools and <br />posting on the Museum’s Instagram account. Kaylyn recently earned her master’s degree in <br />History and Museum Studies from CU-Denver. Welcome to Kaylyn! <br /> <br />The Study Session and dinner with the Louisville City Council has been tentatively rescheduled <br />for August 11, instead of in April. <br /> <br />The City Council approved the contract with Arch11, the architectural firm that has been <br />selected to work on the 30% design and cost estimation for the expansion project on the <br />Museum campus. The first meeting with the firm and City representatives took place on March <br />10. <br /> <br />I hope that Historical Commission members will be able to come by the Museum during the <br />next First Friday Art Walk events. Our topic at the Museum for the April 3rd Art Walk will be a <br />collaboration with the Open Space division on “Wild Louisville.” We’ll look at how Louisville <br />residents have interacted with wild animals in our area historically and today. For the Art Walk <br />on May 1st, we’ll look at “Louisville Landmarked” and how the landmark program supports and <br />promotes the preservation of Louisville’s well-known small-town character. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Museum Visitors Report (these statistics represent visits to the Museum itself, and not inquiries that <br />come in by email or phone): January visitors: 184; February visitors: 183; YTD: 367.
