– Our summer Virtual Cultural Heritage Workshop on ‘Heritage Tourism in Missouri’ took place on June 10th, 2021.
Our cultural heritage workshops work to provide the tools and resources necessary for communities to re-evaluate their cultural heritage assets in an effort to begin or revive programming, tourism, and economic development opportunities in their area.
This one-day, three-part workshop will educate you on how to use your community’s cultural heritage, historic sites, and more as assets to draw in tourism and keep people exploring!
