Amache Recreation Hall Interpretive Exhibits
The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) will complete the development, outreach, fabrication, and installation of Amache Recreation Hall interpretive exhibits to meet the site’s new interpretive needs and standards since the site has become part of the National Park Service (NPS) system. Inclusion in NPS has altered the standards which exhibit fabrication, installation, and design are required to meet. This project will develop and install the first interpretive components on site since NPS designation and will therefore require further collaboration and review.
