About Inheriting Heritage, LLC - Gene Harmon, Manager

Inheriting Heritage, LLC provides professional interpretive consulting, interpretive training, and heritage interpretation to sites nationwide and is passionate about helping people connect to historical, cultural, and natural resources. Extensively involved with the planning and implementation of living history programs since 2006 as a volunteer, a 2013 summer position in Alaska launched the professional career in interpretation. Five months were spent in Denali National Park and Preserve portraying a 1941 park ranger. Extensive research was involved regarding Alaska, the park’s history, the ranger himself, and the natural fauna of the wilderness. From these historical facts was built a presentation from which accreditation was obtained as a Certified Interpretive Guide (CIG) and passed the scrutiny of the National Park Service.

As a Certified Interpretive Guide (CIG) with the National Association for Interpretation (NAI), Inheriting Heritage, LLC has access to an international network of interpretation professionals in museums and park systems around the world, staying abreast of the newest trends and techniques in interpretation. As an interpretive coach, extensive training sessions have been provided for museum staff, interpretive documentation/manuals have been created, and assistance has been given to NAI trainers in the implementation of CIG courses.

Inheriting Heritage, LLC has developed and implemented interpretive programs at state parks, national parks, historic sites, and museums.

Inheriting Heritage, LLC has also been approached by members of the sales and marketing fields who are interested in adapting interpretive training to improve the effectiveness of their respective staff.
