Division welcomes two new historic-site interpreters
The Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs has recently added two new historic-site interpreters to its museums’ staff. Historic-site interpreters are the agency’s front-line connection with the public, adding a human face to Delaware history. Through tours and special programming, they provide in-depth information about the state’s historic places and help bring the people and events of the past to life.
