MHA Conference session highlight: Beyond the Door: Accessible Programming in Small Institutions

[Mass History Alliance]

Join Abby Battis of Historic Beverly and Megan Seiler of Wistariahurst Museum for their session "Beyond the Door: Accessible Programming in Small Institutions" at the Mass History Conference.

This session examines how intentionally designed, accessible public programs can strengthen community relationships and broaden participation in local history.

The session also considers how small institutions can remain nimble and responsive, using their size to pilot new ideas, respond to community needs, and deepen connections.

Attendees will leave with adaptable frameworks and sample program formats they can apply across organizations of varying sizes and capacities.

Join this session at the 2026 MHA conference, "Revolutionizing History: Small but Mighty."

Conference registration is open now. Register today!
