Karen taught this class last year and we are so excited to have her again this summer. As a Puerto Rican who loves the Spanish language and Hispanic cultures, she brings to life the vibrancy and diversity of Latin America for our campers.

Why do Museums Matter to You?

The Eli Whitney Museum & Workshop is participating in a national survey of museumgoers, sponsored by the American Alliance of Museums. This survey will provide us with data from our visitors as well as nationwide results for context, helping us be more effective in the coming months and in the communities we serve.

We want to hear your thoughts! Please consider taking this survey to help us expand our knowledge in understanding and working with our community.
