Written English is required for non-deaf to communicate, if that person does not know sign language. 

Location is in the Tulip Elementary School area, off Belair Drive. I grew up most of my life in Bowie and I am familiar with that area. 

Email contact is what I have to reach out to the museum director and assistant. I have a warm relationship with the museum director, as we share something in common as members of Small Museum Association. ]]> 2020-07-27 02:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/heathergerhart/jprktrnvax1etzak/wish/662955796 https://padlet.com/heathergerhart/jprktrnvax1etzak/wish/662958588 I can drive around that area freely, but not actually through the "gate" of the Stable. Inside building is closed for the time being. Waiting for a response from the manager. Ref: https://www.cityofbowie.org/289/Belair-Stable-Museum 

Will reach out for permission on further information if able to access more than just drive around and assess the properties. 

I am a resident here in Bowie, so I am able to go nearby those properties. ]]> 2020-07-27 02:42:01 UTC https://padlet.com/heathergerhart/jprktrnvax1etzak/wish/662958588 https://padlet.com/heathergerhart/jprktrnvax1etzak/wish/662960283 The need is gather more information on how long the property will be closed. Will the property be opened? 

Will I be allowed to make video around the properties, both mansion and the stables? 

Will I be allowed to walk around? ]]> 2020-07-27 02:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/heathergerhart/jprktrnvax1etzak/wish/662960283 kathleenbrockway https://padlet.com/heathergerhart/jprktrnvax1etzak/wish/665321355 Maurissa Stone, a panelist this afternoon coined the idea to make this project "Open System Approach."

This film will give me an idea what to explore on the property.
