- About Me:
- From my web page introduction:
Mackie received graduate training in preservation and interpretation at Eastern Michigan University, with further study in public history at Western Michigan University. Beginning his museum career as a registrar and tour guide at the Oakland County Pioneer and Historical Society in Pontiac, Michigan, Mackie moved on to head Virginia’s Amherst County Historical Museum for six years, a period during which the museum tripled in size. Mackie then took over the Ontario County Historical Society in Canandaigua, New York; he has also worked as an independent museum consultant. His most recent museum post was Historic Roscoe Village in Coshocton, Ohio, where he directed that institution’s educational efforts. This administrative experience is impressive by any standard in the museum field, but Mackie has also served as an archival manager and exhibits fabricator. A skilled modeler, Mackie’s masters thesis project was a detailed, 1/87 scale diorama depicting an 1840’s farm. The Oakland County Pioneer and Historical Society sponsored this project as a traveling exhibit, and Mackie has completed other modeling and art projects for museum exhibitions. In addition to his museum credentials, Mackie is a researcher and teacher. He has undertaken several research projects dealing with historic architecture and material culture. In 2004 he received a Master of Arts in Teaching from Muskingum College and has several years of classroom teaching experience under his belt.
