In this episode, Amy talks with Hannah Gaston from the Small Museum Association to explore why conferences are so important for small museums and how they provide connection, inspiration, and community. The Small Museum Association is an all-volunteer organization that supports small museums across the mid-Atlantic and beyond. They hold an annual conference every February. Hannah serves as the conference’s co-coordinator for speakers and is also the Director of Education at Liberty Hall Museum, a historic house museum in Union, NJ.
