Commissioners discuss Gibson Grant brochure and TripAdvisor listing to boost visits
Summary
Commissioners confirmed a Gibson Grant brochure is available for visitors and noted that the log home has been added to TripAdvisor; the commission hopes these steps will increase local tourism and educational visits.
Commission members reviewed outreach materials for the Gibson Grant log home. A commission member displayed a brochure and said a booklet is available for guests who tour the site. The commission discussed maintaining the brochure at the site and distributing copies at local events.
One commissioner reported that the Gibson Grant log home was missing from TripAdvisor listings until a recent submission. "So it is now added," the commissioner said, noting the submission should help visitors find the property and potentially increase tours coordinated by senior-activity organizers.
The commission praised volunteers who brought the issue to staff attention and encouraged continued coordination with Parks and Recreation and local volunteer groups to promote the site and schedule small social events, such as an ice-cream social tied to the site’s programming.
