Final design from Split Rock

We got a package yesterday from Split Rock Studios with final design materials in it!

The new exhibit looks GREAT! The staff is thrilled with it. It will be fantastic!

The new exhibit is called "The Stark County Story," and will replace the exhibits in the Industrial Hall and Historical Hall. It will be a modern-looking exhibit that will tell the story of our county from the Native Americans through today, with lots of neat interactives sprinkled throughout!

The timeline is to be finished with demolition by this time next year, install over the summer, and have a grand opening in the fall. Since 2009 is the Stark County bicentennial, it is the perfect year to debut this wonderful new exhibit!

The exhibit is one of our Capital Campaign projects.

We don't have any drawings yet, just floor plans and text. When we get some, I will definitely post a few.

To give you a sneak peek...the Laffing Lady from Meyer's Lake will be part of the new exhibit!!
