One of their most successful public programs that they just recently started was their “story time program”. It promotes active reading and learning within a community that is plagued with an literacy problem. This is just a small sample of what they have planned for the future of their community outreach. Another important thing to remember is that unlike most museums that are just starting out dealing with the public, their connection to the Mott foundation allows them to put down roots quickly. The Motts are very well known in Flint and are very generous. This has continued with their organization, and Applewood is able to tap into that.

Applewood Estate
I visited the Applewood Estate in Flint, Michigan. I actually did the tour while they were closed so it was a one on one tour which made it very interesting and insightful. As far as community impact Applewood is a top notch organization. They are owned and ran by the Mott Foundation which is very well known for their philanthropy. They have specific programs that are designed to engage the community and leave a lasting impression. They also just opened to the public in 2016 so they are just starting to seriously do public programming. This will make their community impact even larger than it already is.
