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.

Great write up of our town, come by and shop local!

It was a beautiful Saturday morning in late November, what a perfect day for a hike and some shopping  so I decided to head to Phoenixville where you can do all of the above.

Nice article on our latest project for Lynn Sinclair at the Kennett Heritage Center.

Lynn Sinclair lived in Kennett Square until she was 2 years and didn’t return until 2005. Still she insists that one can have only one native home and she identifies

It's not always easy to explain. But I like the one that says "I read other peoples mind and visualize it."

How would you describe the job of a graphic designer to a 5-year-old? We asked, and you answered... Today, we rounded up some of our favorite responses that are either spot-on accurate or downright hilarious.

We're excited to be part of this project! We always learn so much of our area's rich heritage and love finding ways to help visually tell the stories that help preserve and appreciate what has made us who we are. Thanks go out to Lynn Sinclair and the rest of the Heritage Center board for allowing us to be part of the team.

The hope is that it will open in the late summer or fall of this year

Custom wine labels made with Northwest Totem Cellars winery. Need a label? We can do it. Need the wine? Get it at ! @ Phoenixville, Pennsylvania

When your brother owns a winery, inevitably you’re going to get to design some custom labels. Custom designing fine wine labels creates great opportunities for fun personal graphic design projects. They're like mini-posters, they need to say a lot in a little space, and the best ones evoke an emotional connection to a time or a place. We’ve been fortunate to have had an opportunity to do that several times now. [ 293 more words ]
