What is interpretive writing?
Interpretive writing is the text that accompanies museum exhibits, the script for the slide show or video in the visitors’ center, the presentation given by the living history folks, the text on the signs along a nature walk. It’s part of telling the stories of people, place, culture, cultural and natural resources, and more, whether those stories appear on the signs at the side of the road, in a nature center, around a campfire, on a cruise ship, or during a wilderness adventure.
