Louise grew up in Connecticut and is a graduate of the University of Connecticut with a Bachelor of Science degree in Home Economics and History. Her experience working with children and the public in an historic venue was developed while on the staff of Old Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts and as administrator at the Fort at No. 4 Living History Museum in New Hampshire. Outside of museum work, Louise wrote for and published a quarterly publication, The Pine Tree Shilling, for 15 years. The periodical’s focus was everyday life in the American Colonies from 1650 – 1780.
In her position as Education Director, Louise strives to gives students and the public an appreciation of the rich history of Lincoln County, especially as it is documented in the three historic properties under the care of LCHA. Louise reaches out to public, private, and home schools offering resources, programs and presentations to enhance curriculum – her approach is inter-disciplinary. In addition to her school outreach work, Louise has given presentations to historical societies and for other local groups.
