In our first conversation of our Making a Public Historian series, we chat with Maureen Lavelle who currently works as the History Programs Manager for the City of Boise Department of Arts and History.
We discuss her career journey as a public historian, her unique experiences in the National Park Service, and her advice for aspiring young historians with an interest in working with the public.
Lavelle has previously worked for the National Park Service at numerous parks around the country, including Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park, Death Valley National Park, and Camp Nelson National Monument. She’s a graduate of West Virginia University public history graduate program.
