PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Our team was commissioned to develop and design an exhibit that provides an historical overview of Washington County, MD. After reorganizing and repackaging historical content provided to us by staff, we developed an interpretive approach that responded to the various eras given focus.

​Themes included: American Indians, Colonial Settlement, Development and Innovation, American Civil War, Agriculture, and Hub City–the city’s moniker. The exhibits incorporated the use of vintage imagery and video footage, artifacts and reproduced documents.
