The Mather Homestead

During my internship at the Mather Homestead, I developed an educational activity book for children focused on the life of Stephen Mather, the first director of the National Parks Service. I designed interactive content, including word searches, mazes, and "spot the difference" games, to help young audiences engage with local history in a fun, approachable way. I also contributed to the Homestead's digitization efforts by scanning original letters and documents sent to Mather during his life; these documents will be made publicly available in 2026.
