National Park Service Interpretive Waysides Nationwide

In 2010, the National Park Service, through its Harpers Ferry Design Center, developed a new method for contracting wayside exhibits at our nation’s national parks. We are currently one of five consultants selected to provide planning, design, and fabrication services for five years. In 2015, NPS renewed their contract with us. The National Park Service (NPS), through its Harpers Ferry Design Center, interprets natural, historical, cultural, and recreational resources at sites throughout the United States. We are among a small group of consultants selected to provide planning, design, and fabrication services for the NPS since 2010.

Scope

For each project, we conduct a site visit, research and develop text and layouts, acquire images, original illustrations, and artwork, and manage fabricators to produce effective wayside exhibits. Our waysides are thoughtfully designed to communicate messages quickly and creatively to all audiences.

Outcome

To date, we have created more than 500 wayside exhibit panels for over 50 national parks across the country. Our waysides have covered a variety of cultural and natural history topics such as Civil War battlefields, threatened forest species, wilderness conservation, and local communities.
