When dealing with cultural resources and historical information, the visual presentation to the public is an imperative part of the historic interpretive process. When your visitors see the representation made, the important goal is to answer the question, "Why should we care?"
Depicting historical places, times, and objects is the story-telling of our past: giving readers, visitors, and guests a reason to learn, and making an emotional connection with the topics being presented. Using art to interpret our history is about giving meaning to the objects around us, making those lessons of the past accessible to a wide audience.
Whether a wayside exhibit, museum display, re-creation, or map, these media tell your story. This allows us to preserve history by interpreting it from a particular point of view, creating a storyboard, and consistently presenting it.

“The purpose of studying history is not to deride human action, nor to weep over it or to hate it, but to understand it. And hopefully then to learn from it as we contemplate our future.” --Nelson Mandela
