This year’s topic at the Michigan Historic Preservation Network’s (MHPN) statewide preservation conference is “A Fragile Balance: How Heritage Tourism Balances Profitability and Authenticity.” Discussions include how museum programming and site interpretation support heritage management and tourism in careful balance and how web-based geographic information system (GIS) can enable and enhance heritage asset management for historic districts in rural, underserved, or disadvantaged communities.
