The Place of the Past: Images of an Outdoor History Museum
Abstract
dc:descriptionHundreds of outdoor history museums dot the American landscape and annually draw millions of visitors through their gates. Their attributes as a unique place type, as well as the corresponding place images of them held by their visitors, are of particular importance in understanding their spatial, historical, and social significance in the human landscape. Just as place images function as models of reality, outdoor history museums function as models of past times and places.
