Project Overview
Blue Stem Heritage Group has been hired to develop the Interpretive Plan for the entire Eidem Farm site to include:
- Signage plan to articulate the where, what, and how of the signs on site.
- Interior exhibit concept plan and enough program development to understand the space, staffing, and material needs for a new building.
- Exterior exhibit plan for animal, crops, space, and material needs of the new site.
- Messaging, Budget, and Work Plan guidance to communicate the history of the site, and better understand what the budget and next steps for interpretive development should be.
Project Update

The design work for the signs and the kiosk are complete and quotes are being solicited for signage and kiosk fabrication. A separate plan will be prepared to obtain quotes to install the accessible paths and the concrete slabs for the signs to be surface mounted. The project is planned to be completed by this fall.
