It seems that people have one of two reactions to Fortune’s story when they first hear it. They are either blown away or they look at me quizzically, as if to wonder why we would care about this piece of history from Connecticut. I don’t try to convince people they should care. But I do.

My Hopes for the Fortune’s Bones Project

Guest blogger Larry Broxton is the Chief of Public Relations and Marketing for the the Prince George’s County Memorial Library System. He serves on the Fortune’s Bones Advisory Group.

I heard of Fortune’s Bones in 2008 when a friend in New Mexico mentioned working at the Mattatuck Museum as a curator after graduate school. When our Library System was invited to partner on the project her story came full circle. I couldn’t wait to call her and have her share more of the back story about Fortune and the Mattatuck.
