Heritage Partner Workshop

Join us for our Heritage Partner Workshop on May 20, 2026 at the Historic Trenton Masonic Temple. The workshop will be held from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Registration is in advance, at $30 for Crossroads Heritage Partners and $40 for the public. Lunch will be provided.

This workshop will feature a panel with the staff of the Old Barracks Museum, moderated by Mark A. Turdo, Assistant Director of Interpretation & Curation, on how to support site staff and volunteers when they interact with difficult visitors. Turdo has helped organize some of the largest Revolutionary War reenactments, appeared in a number of documentaries, and was a military consultant for the movie The Patriot. He has worked at the Museum of the American Revolution, the Peter Wentz Farmstead, and the Andover Historical Society. Additional presentations include developing low-cost pop-up exhibits by Crossroads Heritage Partner Program Manager Laura Foley, plus a session on how to market historic sites through low or no cost outlets and social media led by Mike Keeler of quickSilver advertising. Keeler has 25 years’ of experience on Madison Avenue (M&M’s, UPS, Pepsico) and locally (Bristol Myers Squibb) and is the Communications lead for RevolutionNJ.
