#246 Tara McCauley: Reimagining Museums

(Airdate: July 9, 2024) Maryanne interviews Tara McCauley, Executive Director of the Jefferson County Historic Museum, in downtown Port Townsend. She grew up on Vashon Island and at first thought she’d be a teacher. But her love of museums led her to discover a way to combine teaching with museums. After a couple of stints at Seattle-area museums Tara arrived here in 2019. She was only recently promoted to Executive Director and has an ambitious program of “reimagining” the museum. There are major changes now happening as she reshapes the museum to “integrate art and history.” Our museum will never be the same. Still, the artifacts from the rough and rowdy days of sailors and “ladies of the night” are safely tucked away in archives.
