This recent CBS feature on the Underground Railroad in the Kennett Square area shows off some of the heritage interpretive design and display installation work of Miller Designworks. It highlights the Kennett Heritage Center, which houses the Kennett Underground Railroad Center, both of which were designed and produced by Miller Designworks.

Just in time to help commemorate Juneteenth.

Miller Designworks (MDW), the Chester County-based interpretive and multimedia design firm, has designed and installed a brand new timeline and map exhibit at the Kennett Underground Railroad Center (KURC), housed in the historic Dr. Isaac Johnson House on 120 N. Union St. in Kennett Square, PA.

The full-wall timeline highlights important people and events that helped shape the fight for freedom for enslaved peoples in America. The striking timeline uses imagery and stories on the wall, as well as links to the website for more information available via QR codes. The end wall has a large antique map image with notable local buildings called out that have significant connections to the importance of the region to the Underground Railroad and the abolitionist movement in the Kennett area.

The KURC occupies a room in the Kennett Heritage Center (http://www.kennettheritagecenter.org), also designed and created by MDW. For more information on KURC, go to https://www.kennettundergroundrr.org.

MDW is always honored to help further the understanding of the significant historical heritage of the Chester County area.

A really fine segment on the Underground Railroad in Kennett Square. It was fun to see our interpretive design work used as the backdrop for several of the interviews, and close-ups of panels as b-roll. Several parts were shot at the Kennett Heritage Center where we recently completed four rooms of Kennett Square history. We are now beginning a makeover and interpretive design for the Kennett Underground Railroad Center's room in the building. It's truly amazing how much history was made right in our backyard,and we love bringing it tolofe for these important organizations. Great work by WHYY!

Travel to Kennett Square, PA and discover why it was known as “a hotbed of abolitionism."

Great story about one of our latest Interpretive Design projects, the Jones Log Barn Living History Center in Chesterbrook.

Preservationists worked for years to dismantle, relocate, and reassemble what’s likely one of the oldest barns in the region.
