For example, we participate in Revolutionary War and Colonial Living History Days, and Hillsborough Fourth of July events. c)These special events attract visitors to Hillsborough.

Empirical evidence has shown that these families have been predominantly white and middle class. In FY15-16 the museum began a significant effort to attract a more diverse audience of families to the museum through new programs. For example, December workshops in support of Hillsborough's Hometown Holidays program focused on Diwali, Kwanzaa and Hanukkah family traditions in Orange County. e)The museum's Historic Hillsborough tours, activities and programs are delivered at the museum by the executive director. f)Special historic events happen throughout the calendar year.

Program 2: Education through exhibits: b) Museum exhibits offer visitors a connection to the past by presenting the rich history of Orange County, one of the oldest counties in the state, and a center for Native American, Colonial, antebellum, and twentieth century history. Admission to museum is free; museum is open six days per week. OCHM is the only history museum in Orange County, and has the singular responsibility and privilege of preserving and interpreting Orange County history. c)The museum researches, creates and installs exhibits covering a wide variety of topics, from post- Reconstruction African American education, to the Orange Guards commemorative flag, the only known Civil War Era flag from Orange County still in existence, to the 15th annual art show for Orange Smart Start children. These exhibits enrich the cultural resources and opportunities available to the Orange County community and its visitors. d) Exhibit topics are carefully chosen to educate and entertain the broad audience of diverse museum goers that represents the Orange County community, as identified by US census data about the county (http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/37/37135.html). e)The executive director is directly responsible for exhibits created for and installed in the museum. f) Exhibits are on display at the museum throughout the year.
