Production Documents II April 2, 20214 Fort Frederica National Monument

This Document This Production Documents II document shows all graphics to be produced for exhibits at the Fort Frederica Visitor Center under this contract. Custom elements, cases, artifacts, and other elements may appear in this package but are detailed elsewhere. The role of this document is to show and describe all graphic layouts and images in the project.

Graphic layouts each have a distinctive reference number that begins with GL-. This number is listed with the layout in this package, and also may be referenced in the exhibit drawings set or in the exhibit database spreadsheet.

Images placed into Graphic layouts (GLs) also have a distinctive reference number that begins with IM-. These IM numbers appear in this package and in the exhibit database spreadsheet with a thumbnail of the image.

Therefore, as an example, there may be a reference number for graphic panel GL-01.04-100. If this layout contains an image, it would be numbered IM-01.04-101. Each database number is unique, and as you can see from the two numbers above, image numbers are “nested” inside the graphic number -100 by using -101, -102, etc. The next graphic in the series would be labeled -110 or even -200 so as to leave the in-between numbers for images within layouts.

Some IM numbers refer to content that will be created by the fabricator during the production phase. In these cases, you will see FPO over the image in this package, and more details are provided in the Reference Package.

Background & Introduction

The Park Located on Saint Simons Island, on the Georgia coast, Fort Frederica National Monument (FOFR) was established as a unit of the National Park Service in 1936, to preserve, protect, and interpret the existing site and archeological record of the British colonial settlement Fort Frederica. The monument consists of 282 acres including the primary site of Fort Frederica, and the smaller Bloody Marsh site. Fort Frederica was designed by General James Edward Oglethorpe in 1736, and was strategically located to protect the British colony from Spanish forces in Florida.

In addition to the central story for which Fort Frederica was established, there are many layers of history on this fascinating site. Prior to, and after the 22-year existence of the fort and supporting Colonial town site, diverse people have lived, passed through, and made an impact on the landscape.

A significant feature of the site is a readily-viewable and much-studied archaeological record associated with the layers of human history here. The ability of the park to provide guided public programs to study and explore the rich archaeological resources here is a central feature of the site. From archaeology programs in schools, to summer archaeology camps, to classroom outreach and school visits, to evidence interpreted directly on the landscape, this site’s archaeology has inspired generations of learners young and old over the many years since the park was established.

The park is supported by two organizations: Fort Frederica Association, who runs the bookstore in the visitor center, and Friends of Fort Frederica, a friends group that supports the park through donations and projects.

The Project

Project Goals The project team identified the following goals for this exhibit.

Some are taken from the scope of work, others were developed during project meetings. The finished exhibits address these goals directly.

• Facilitate the flow of visitor traffic throughout the center (entrance, exhibits, theater)

• Display pieces from the park’s archeological collection of over 300,000 artifacts

• Offer interactive opportunities

• Engage in the story at different levels of sophistication

• Appeal to different learning styles and ages

• Allow for active learning of history and significance of Fort Frederica

• Allow artifacts and electronics to be readily evacuated in the event of extreme weather

• Communicate the significance of Fort Frederica, why this is a national monument

• Provide accessible, comfortable seating

• Explain general safety and comfort information for a successful visit

• Tell a more complete story of this place—expand the time focus beyond the 22 years

• Provide information about what to see outside

• Communicate the basics of the park story so that staff can expand to other topics

• Wow visitors—make this one of the “top three things to do on St. Simon’s Island”

• Are inviting and provide a sense of mystery and discovery

• Showcase the view to the site and help visitors to enjoy it

• Increase the size of the association bookstore

How to Review Please begin your review as soon as this package is received digitally on April 2, 2021.

EDX will present this document to client representatives as in previous phases. This presentation will be to highlight changes made in this final phase.

In reviewing this and other PDII documents, the park and HFC should confirm that designers responded to all comments in a satisfactory way. If there are PDI comments that have not been addressed, these should be compiled and returned to designers to update for the final files. No additional, new comments may be provided at this time.

The text in this document has incorporated all requested changes and a final copy edit for grammar, style and consistency has been performed by EDX.

Accessibility Narrative

These exhibits have been developed to fully comply with physical and programmatic accessibility strategies. These strategies will include but are not limited to:

• Universal design of the physical environment including adherence to ADA/ABA requirements.

• Incorporation of meaningful tactile elements to bring the story alive for visitors with low vision and blindness.

• Immersive elements bring the park to life for visitors who are not able to explore the site.

• Audio description available to visitors upon request (not part of this contract, but to be developed by the park.)

The layout of the physical space and exhibit elements utilize universal design principles in that they provide:

• large-scale visual cues about the function of each area

• ample circulation space in addition to wheelchair access that allows groups to gather

• moderate sensory input in the space, designed to entice but not overwhelm visitors with sensory sensitivities

• tactile components that enhance the story and do not simply repeat content provided elsewhere

All exhibits are physically accessible.

Multisensory exhibits in the space include:

• a raised-line park map and raised-line plan of the exhibit area in scene 1

• a tactile stratigraphy wall in scene 3

• tactile components in scene 5

• a re-created tavern in scene 7

• period clothing and imaginative play props, as well as tactile puzzle with raised-line instructions in scene 7

• viewscopes in scene 8

The main goals and interpretive themes will be achieved in these exhibits through multiple methods:

• Re-created environment

• Large, bold titles

• Introductory text which provides the main idea

• Short body copy

• Tactile and interactive activities to support concepts

• Role-play opportunities

• Games

• Display of authentic artifacts

• Exhibits support and integrate with other interpretive programs such as Junior Ranger, Living History, and the park film

The following features of the exhibits are designed to convey information to visitors with low vision and blindness:

• Tactile building plan

• Tactile park map (on ranger desk, movable)

• Tactile stratigraphy wall

Interpretive Framework

Visitor center exterior

Interpretive Themes The following interpretive themes are explored in the visitor center exhibits. At the kickoff meeting, the client team advised how much of the visitor center should be dedicated to each.

Military Battles & Fort 15-20% of content Results of the Battles of Gully Hole Creek and Bloody Marsh destroyed the dreams of the Spanish for an empire and cemented British control of the southern colonies.

Colonial Life 15-20% of content The colonial town of Frederica is a classic example of the symbiotic relationship between a military base and a supporting residential community. Civilian life in the colonial town of Frederica was a study in adaptability and flexibility in the face of hardships and social variance.

Archaeological Research 20% of content & over-arching theme Archeological investigations and research at Fort Frederica continue to reveal a multitude of personal stories and historic revelations about life on Saint Simons Island.

Oglethorpe’s Implementation of Colony Charter 10% of content The early history of the colony and the town of Frederica reflects Oglethorpe’s effort to bring about a successful implementation of the colony’s charter from King George.

Island Ecosystem 5-10% of content During the 18th century, General James Oglethorpe encountered a fertile and varied ecosystem on Saint Simons Island, Georgia.

Although much has changed during the intervening centuries, there are still places where such beauty and diversity endure.

Efforts are underway to conserve and restore aspects of Saint Simons Island’s ecology, which influenced the history and lives of the people on the island.

Orientation 15-20% of content Orientation to FOFR and other associated historic sites in the region.

Human History of the Area 15% of content The people and history of the area prior to, and after, the historic period of the fort, including up to the present day.

Exhibit ‘Big Idea’ The big idea is a central message that provides an organizing element to exhibits. It is the concept or idea that visitors should walk away from the exhibit understanding. It also provides a guiding tool for the exhibit team throughout the project. A single big idea will provide the conceptual structure for the three Schematic Design alternatives; the proposed draft of this statement is below.

Uncover the stories of this strategic fort and communities here— before, during, and after a critical juncture in US colonial history.

How do we know what happened at Fort Frederica?

At this active site, teams of archeologists and historians work together to solve mysteries about the past.

Old and new archeological techniques help researchers better understand who lived here and how they lived. Because the National Park Service preserves this place, archeologists can keep excavating, learning, and sharing what they discover.

We Dig Our StOrieS

Finding an artifact is exciting. However, before archeologists can know an object’s importance, they must first look at its provenience—where it was found—and at other nearby artifacts.

This soil profile shows what the layers of soil below us may look like. Each layer excavated is a step back in time.

Look in the flipbook below to find out more about the stratigraphy— the layers of archeological remains— and about who used these objects.

Finding the Exact Battle Site

Using historic maps, first-hand accounts, and found objects, archeologists solved a mystery: where did the Battle of Gully Hole Creek take place?

Until 2018, no one knew exactly where this critical battle of the War of Jenkins Ear happened. Knowing the location of this battle helps verify the sites of other battles on the island.

That year, researchers finally connected the dots that linked three key pieces of information: a historic map, a first-hand battle description, and the location of colonial-era musket balls.

Volunteers from St. Simons Island found several musket balls consistent with those used during the Battle of Gully Hole Creek.

Archeologists used historic maps to confirm the route of the military road that led into and out of Fort Frederica.

A first-hand account describes how far the Spanish soldiers were from Fort Frederica.

"... the Rangers who had been on the Scout came, chas'd in by the Spaniards, giving an Account that the Enemy was within a Mile of this Place... The General leap'd on the first Horse he met with, and immediately... galloped with the Indians to the Place, which was just within the Woods, about a Mile from hence…”

— Lieutenant Patrick Sutherland

“Seeing” Underground

The National Park Service uses advanced technology to find underground site features.

In the 1940s and 1950s, archeologists had to dig trenches and test pits to locate the ruins of Frederica town. Today, they use far less invasive methods.

Ground-penetrating radar can determine how far below the surface an object is located.

GPR data shows the outline of the Sinclair house.

The Sinclair Hou<e In 2018, park staff discovered a house and outbuildings in Frederica’s south ward using ground-penetrating radar.

Park staff then launched a multi-year plan to excavate the home, which probably belonged to the Sinclair family.

Who Were the Sinclair<?

Colonial records show that Archibald Sinclair arrived as an indentured servant. Gaining his freedom, Sinclair became an innkeeper and tythingman (community police officer) from 1738-1739. He built a small house, made larger by 1743.

Findings from the excavations offer insight into the lives of Sinclair, his wife Isabel, son James, and daughter Margaret.

Artifacts discovered in the top layer of soil at the Sinclair House site reveal how the land may have been used after the family left.

Uncovering the First Layer

Pieces of Everyday Life Many items recovered from the Sinclair House site tell us what everyday life was like for the Sinclairs.

Below, bottom: Glass bottle neck and stopper Brass(?) box latch Pencil fragment

The Sinclair Dinner Table Archeologists know about the Sinclairs’ social status in part because of the kinds of artifacts discovered in the ruins. The family ate a variety of meat and fish and owned several kinds of ceramics, indicating they were likely well-off.

What They Wore While it is not known exactly what the Sinclairs wore, researchers can tell they owned some finer things from the surviving adornments recovered from the house ruins.
