Abstract

This paper concerns a small community museum in Kampsville, Illinois. Economic interaction phenomena are examined within the immediate business community for impact derived directly from museum visitors. Increased sales potential available from museum visitor interaction was examined through field observation. Potential impact from this source signals a viable means of educational and economic development appreciated simultaneously in small communities attempting revitalization efforts.

Guidelines and recommendations are included for application in additional research studies of museum/community interaction potential.
