Exhibit designers

Congratulations to our exhibit designers, Veronica Jackson and Philip Brady, on the April 30 opening of their new exhibit "Discovering the Civil War"

at the National Archives in Washington. The exhibition, commemorating the 150th anniversary of the war, combines historic documents with touch-screen technology. The first part of a two-part exhibit is on display through the summer.

The Jackson Brady Design Group is working with Tourism Council staff, under the direction of TCFC’s Liz Shatto, on the exhibits that will be a key component of the new Frederick Visitor Center. We will soon be placing the exhibit fabrication out to bid, with installation planned once building renovations are complete. Exhibit design and fabrication is funded through grants from the MD Heritage Areas Authority, Preserve America, National Scenic Byways Program, and the Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network, which gives an indication of the variety of themes we’ll be able to share through the exhibits.
