THIS PROJECT highlights the role of the Muster Grounds and the Overmountain Men in turning the tide of the American Revolution. The Design Minds transformed a rather small space—a garage—into a 3D immersive experience by using full-scale illustrations, creative placements of exhibit elements, and strategically placed artifact cases and props. The clients, subject matter experts, and visitors marvel at the breadth of historical detail conveyed in such as small space without being overpowering for the visitors. The Design Minds won a 2012 Excellence in Exhibition Label Writing Award from the American Alliance of Museums for the story label, "Backcountry Women."
