Doris Montag is a freelance curator who unlocks the stories in the artifacts of ordinary things. She borrows and assembles vintage items, researches the stories they tell, and develops engaging exhibits for small museums, libraries, and public spaces. As a storyteller and homespun humorist, she narrates the exhibit sharing history and stories as she chats with the audience.


Her passionate objective is to entertain and educate, to engage, to reminisce, and to affirm the past. Locally, you can read her “History of Ordinary Things” in Mature Focus, a free magazine is often available at Fareway Stores and libraries.
