  Cynthia MacLeod, park superintendent since the beginning of 2008, and other park officials note that there has been a 20-year effort to present a greater diversity of stories at the park.At the Liberty Bell, for instance, rangers for many years were instructed to mention abolitionists, who actually gave the bell its name in the 1840s.But there was no Liberty Bell "script," and it was not unknown for rangers to give abolitionists short shrift or ignore them entirely.
  
  "Recent archaeology has revealed 'new' tangible resources and is a wonderful vehicle for inquiry . . . into particular stories," MacLeod said in an e-mail, adding that the park is dedicated to telling "the major stories of the making of the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution and the importance of the Liberty Bell."

  Park Superintendent Cynthia MacLeod hailed the gift, made by a private group dubbed the Totopotomoy Battlefield at Rural Plains Foundation.
  ...
  "The donation was magnificent," said MacLeod."It's a real contribution to American history.We're very grateful."
  ...
  MacLeod noted that the park has no funds allocated for Rural Plains, and consequently public access and interpretation will be limited for the foreseeable future.In a first phase, the park is seeking volunteers for trail construction, and later will seek assistance for house tours.The park also hopes to conduct research on Rural Plains, and eventually create a development concept plan to manage the new park unit.
  
  "The house is spectacular, the grounds are beautiful," said MacLeod.
