Frederick Co. Helps Lewis and Clark

Here is an interesting story about a Frederick company designing interactive displays about Lewis and Clark's amazing adventure.

Ruth Bielobocky wants to educate the public about Lewis and Clark. But the owner of Ion Design, a Frederick, Md. company, said part of her goal in designing eight interpretive wayside exhibits for Omaha's Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Headquarters is to help people understand our national parks need help. "Budgets are tight," she said. "They need help."

Bielobocky's firm has been designing wayside exhibits for the National Park Service over the last four years. The Park Service recently selected Ion Design to create designs for the eight interpretive waysides that will show different facets of Lewis and Clark's western U.S exploration in the early 1800s.
I have always been fascinated by the Corp of Discovery's journey across frontier America. Can you imagine making a cross country trek by boat and foot into wild and dangerous territory.

It's also very cool to find out there are companies like Ion Design in Frederick doing such great work.
