In my Museums in the Digital Age class over the past few weeks, we have been discussing the use of blogs by museums. One trend we noted is museums and historic homes blogging about their restoration efforts. One blog I have been following is Montpelier’s restoration. The 1820s home of James Madison has been uncovered beneath the 20th century additions added by the duPont family. The site has been documenting this restoration online since its beginning, first as an email newsletter, and then as a blog. This is a great way to keep patrons involved in the process and excited to see the final product.
