t isn't just about historic preservation and architectural conservation. We also make exhibits and props for museums. One of our latest projects involves exhibit pieces for the new visitor's center at Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine. 
The mastermind behind our exhibit division, Exhibit Hues, is Hugh Bennett. Among the pieces he has created for the visitor's center is this replica rocket. Hugh used the a design from the Park Service to create the rocket out of new materials and then used his skills as a finisher to make it loo
k like an original 19th century projectile. This one is just for viewing purposes, but wouldn't it be cool to make a working one? I don't know that I would have the nerve to light the fuse!Exhibit Hues is also creating, with sculpter Bill Duffy, a bronze sculptural representation of Francis Scott Key. The rendering will be a focal point in the new visitor's center. The foundry is currently putting the finishing touches on Mr. Key. More on him later!
