Turkey Notes were created from a tradition Dr. Bobby Doscher learned as the assistant curator at the Putnam Museum in Davenport, Iowa. While there she helped to create one of the first children’s hands-on rooms. Since then she has used Turkey Notes to learn about others’ experiences. Presented as small scrolls at each place setting, these “notes” are questions, which range from the thoughtful to the fun. Questions such as “What did you learn this year” are designed to help the guests get to know each other better.
