Searle Swedlund says Jamestown Tourism and the City Of Jamestown has worked together to assess and measure what lies ahead for the Village\u2019s future.<\/p>\n
In 2020 despite the pandemic, and all the uncertainties,\u00a0 Frontier Village welcomed visitors from around the world.<\/p>\n
With inspections the disrepair showed the facilities are in need of significant repair.<\/p>\n
Searle points out that through a visitors experience survey with over 1400 participants, it was determined that visitors are looking for ways to engage in high-touch, hands-on experiences.<\/p>\n
He says the coming summer will be the same.\u00a0 Continued will be addressing and planning for the needs of Frontier Village and its visitors.<\/p>\n
Two new projects will be initiated, focusing\u00a0 on education and experimental play.<\/p>\n
With lead gifts from the Jamestown Eagles Club and the Jamestown Kiwanis Club, to create two new park areas, that honor \u00a0the heritage\u00a0 of Frontier Village and provide a vision for the next chapter.<\/p>\n
Those include:\u00a0 Homestead Park, that will include a true to size claimshack playhouse, that will have a play homesteaders kitchen with an open floor plan, and covered porch.\u00a0 The park will include interactive experiences related to settlement and sustainability of that time.<\/p>\n
Railroad Park adds a\u00a0 miniature train to the west side of the Village, in homage to Jamestown\u2019 railroad origins.\u00a0 Steel rails, hand cranked cars for both adults and children, as well as\u00a0 a playhouse depot will be settled on the east side of the south tower.\u00a0 The Jamestown Eagles Club has agreed to be a major sponsor.<\/p>\n
Items are in need for the parks.<\/p>\n
Proposed maintenance\u00a0 schedule this year includes, the General Store, and Church.\u00a0 In 2022 the Town Hall, and the \u00a0Depot, and in 2023, the Church interior, and Pony Ring area.<\/p>\n
