Heartful objects and mementos: There is a extensive history of having objects laid to rest with their owners. @SmithsonianMag has a interesting list filled with unique objects from notable individuals
Before the Humphrey Bogart’s cremated remains were laid to rest, they were supposedly joined in their urn by a small gold whistle. The actor died #OTD in 1957. See what other odd objects joined celebrities, such as Houdini, in the afterlife. ow.ly/W1sN50D8QRz

Tim, from the @NCWHM again, folks. Annie Oakley. You know her, right? A sharpshooter and star of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. This is a coin she shot out of the air and dented with a bullet. So cool! #HashtagTheCowboy Thanks, Tim
Hope everyone has a better 2021! When it is safe to travel, consider supporting your local historic sites, businesses and organizations. All the best from our team

Dr. Tom Urbaniak's article on saving historic sites and buildings: "...communities that conserve historic places, renovate them and re-purpose them are usually communities that are using history to attract new investment and ideas."#savingplaces #historicsites

Excellent news for the #heritage trades! Sustainable conservation practices begin with skilled artisans and specialized education. A more widely qualified workforce contributes to job growth and an increase in affordability and green innovation.
