Meet our new intern! Nicole Simpson comes to us as a graduate of BSHS and Bay City native. She has an extensive multi-disciplinary education with degrees from Victoria College and University of Houston, a BS in History (specializing in military history and language studies) from Liberty University, and is in the last semester of a MA in Public History at Liberty University. She has previous museum experience working at the Matagorda County Museum and has a significant interest in local history. Nicole wants to bring her historical education and design experience to our museum to create an exciting experience for all visitors that peels back the layers of the past.
