Ask where an account comes from
When a story interests you, ask whether it comes from written records, oral tradition, archaeology or another source. These can each contribute to understanding, but they aren't identical kinds of evidence.
A respectful question gives the guide room to explain rather than turning the visit into an argument.
Notice whose perspective is presented
Ask who used a place, who maintained it and whose account visitors usually hear. Look at changes over time instead of assuming a building had one purpose throughout its existence.
Write down a name or subject you want to investigate later. Don't interrupt the whole group to fact-check every sentence on your phone.
Keep uncertainty in your notes
If an account is disputed or the guide is unsure, record that uncertainty. Avoid repeating a precise date or claim later as settled fact simply because it sounded memorable.
For sites such as the Asante Traditional Buildings, combine official heritage information with the explanations of local custodians. Ask each source the questions it is best placed to answer.
Rules, fees and opening hours change. Confirm anything that matters before you rely on it.
