Keegan is the former Supervisor of Native American Programs at the New York State Historical Association and Farmer’s Museum in Cooperstown, NY.  He has constructed over 80 wigwams and longhouses for museums, nature centers, and educational institutions, and regularly demonstrates early technologies for these organizations, as well as others such as the History Channel.
