ABSTRACT In this article I make the case for including queer narratives in historic house museums, both because including queer history in public history settings is important in its own right and as a way to invigorate museum interpretations and appeal to wider audiences. I dispel concerns about “outing” historical actors and describe some language and ways of thinking about historical sexuality to assist educators in their interpretation. I then shift into the case study of Glen Burnie, a historic house museum that completely revised its interpretation to center the house’s last residents and its preservationists, a gay male couple. The museum’s interpretive shift leverages the efforts of both men to create public and private domestic experiences that create an immersive new house tour experience and can be used to create a critique of the portrayal of gender roles and heteronormativity at many historic houses.

格伦伯尼的教训：对历史悠久的房屋博物馆感到奇怪

摘要 在这篇文章中，我提出了在历史房屋博物馆中加入酷儿叙事的理由，这既是因为将酷儿历史纳入公共历史环境本身就很重要，也是一种激发博物馆解释和吸引更广泛观众的方式。我消除了对“外出”历史演员的担忧，并描述了一些关于历史性行为的语言和思考方式，以帮助教育工作者进行解释。然后我转向 Glen Burnie 的案例研究，这是一个历史悠久的房屋博物馆，它完全修改了它的解释，以将房屋的最后居民和它的保护者，一对男同性恋夫妇放在中心。
