When he was growing up in Missouri, James Quint spent a lot of time with his parents visiting museums and Civil War battlefields. That early love of history has grown into a career. Quint is the new director of Old Cowtown, the city’s 23-acre living history museum. Tom Shine spent some time walking the grounds there with Quint, who shared his vision for the museum, some challenges there and his favorite buildings.
