Jamestown  (CSi)  Jamestown Tourism Director, Searle Swedlund says, Frontier Village had good attendance this past tourism season, and that the attraction is in “a learning category.”

On Wednesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Searle said visitors are looking for an interactive experience while visiting the Village, adding that the goal is to “marry,” the past history experience with a new experience.

He said currently a strategic plan for Frontier Village is being developed, addressing deficiencies.

He said this past summer Jamestown’s street department, along with the water department, plus parks and recreation workers have been assisting with improving the physical appearance of the buildings.

He added that the buildings themselves in some cases are not historic in nature, the artifacts inside are, and will be saved, for placement in more secure and updated structures.

Searle pointed out that employees of the Jamestown Civic Center, have also assisted in working on Village improvements.

Owned by the City of Jamestown, Frontier Village will be managed for another year by Jamestown Tourism.

On another topic, Frontier Village will host a Treat Night on October 31, from 5-p.m., to 7-p.m.

Social distancing will be observed and wearing face masks is encouraged.
