What happens when young people—whose bodies, minds, and very presence seem to represent society’s hopes and dreams for the future—perform and interpret the past?

How does young people's presence -- as volunteers, staff, field trip participants, campers, and visitors -- influence historical narratives that get shared in living history museums?

How do young people's questions and concerns shape narratives and experiences in living history museums? For young people in leadership positions, how do their questions lead them to curate the past?

How do emotional, multisensory, and intellectual responses to living history museums, the past, and young people's own lived experiences inform the ways historically dressed interpreters share and shape the past?

How do young people understand relationships between the past, present, and future, and how do their present concerns shape the past, and reshape the present?
