First of all we would like to congratulate Robin Maycock and Alex Mussler for being appointed to the Historic Interpretations, Inc. Board. They will join Lucy Ringland, Marie Berry, Krissina Newcomb, Jennie Gunther, Rebecca Blum, and Beth Roberts Elsharkawy on the Board, along with Jaclyn Stevens whom has officially become Board President after two years as interim.
The coming 2017 year holds a lot of opportunity and potential for Historic Interpretations, as we consider it to be a rebuilding year, focused on community outreach and building our volunteer base and their skills. We are also excited to close out our year of events with the 30th Annual Historic Hillsborough Neighborhood Tour, a Victorian Celebration just in time for the holiday season. Much is to come for Historic Interpretations, and we are honored that you are here with us.

It has been a few years in the making, but Historic Interpretations is proud to debut its first film, "Let Tyrants Fear" an interpretation of the speech and battle at Tilbury. This inaugural project for the HI film division began in the summer of 2011.
