We have been working with @hanbury.design on creating a three dimensional historic reconstruction of New Town that will serve as one of our core interior exhibit elements. This past Wednesday, we got a chance to see mockups of a few of the New Town structures and are so excited to begin sharing our progress.

If you are interested in supporting our efforts at the Hall, we will be focusing our upcoming Give Local campaign with the @cfnrv on renovation efforts and exhibit redesign that will help ensure future programming and staffing at this important historic site.
