Ideas for history exhibit

• general thoughts
  • use entrance hall at front doors, see hallway sketch
  • independent vignettes (very flexible, timeline would be less flexible)
  • historically significant or interesting items
  • expanded historical material
  • interactive items (touch, mark, write, stickers)
  • move into gym for dinner party?
• specific thoughts
  1. big roster listing, attendees can put gold star by their names
  2. big group photo prints, attendees can mark/identify who's who
     choose very large group photos with more than Norwalk kenshi present
