Harpers Ferry Center Exhibit Services

I commend Lisa Royse and Kim Hildebrand on their assistance in completing the recent exhibit rehabilitation of the Visitor Center at Lowell National Historical Park. Ms. Royce proved a responsive consultant to park staff and an adept negotiator between the park and the exhibit design contractor. Ms. Hildebrand guided the processes of fabrication and installation with exceptional skill & professionalism.
