[Monroe's Highland @MonroeHighland]

New exhibits across the site spaces, with more in coming weeks. Visit and explore for yourself.

[Sara Bon-Harper @SaraBonHarper]

One of the things we accomplished ⁦@MonroeHighland⁩ this fall is the first part of a new installation. This space in the exhibition should inspire and equip visitors to continue exploring history when they leave the site. History is at your fingertips.

Highland’s research started an all-encompassing project. This new essay by @mxdibe shares the story of the processes that resulted when @SaraBonHarper started exploring questions about the site.

[Clio and the Contemporary @cliocontemp]

How do historians tell new, more truthful stories about complicated historical sites? @mxdibe shares the process of "Reinterpreting James @MonroeHighland" in light of new discoveries about the past.
