Local Historical Consulting

Compass Rose History Experiences provides consultation to assist local Sarasota groups with accurate historical information. Providing information about the location, business, or building helps to create a connection with the public and your organization. This information may be used on websites, on menus, on as a display in buildings.

In addition, we provide consulting services to local historical societies, museums, and clubs throughout the United States to assist in creating historical experiences to share their own local stories.
