Exhibit Room Update - Final Panels 8-20-09

Exciting progress today as the final panels of the new exhibit "History in Motion:Public Transportation Connecting Maine Communities" were installed in Seashore Trolley Museum's Exhibit Room at the Visitors' Center in Kennebunkport, Maine. This clip shows the work of graphic artist Kim Traina of Jumpstart Creative in Edgecomb, Maine and Patricia Erikson, the curator of the exhibit, of Whitecap Museum-Consulting Services in Peaks Island, Maine. There will be a few more details that need to be done in the room over the coming weeks prior to the ribbon cutting ceremony on September 25. Video images captured and edited by Phil Morse. This project is funded in large part with resources made available through the Maine Department of Transportation via the Federal Transportation Enhance Act of the 21st Century (TEA-21). Matching funds were raised from a variety of sources, including a large number of generous Museum volunteers. Significant donations came from Amherst Railway Society, Kennebunk Savings Bank, National Railway Historical Society, Saco & Biddeford Savings Institution, Kennebunkport Business Association, Ocean National Bank, and The 470 Railroad Club. The major local sponsor for the project is the H. Albert Webb Memorial Railroad Preservation Award made available through the Massachusetts Bay Railroad Enthusiasts, Inc. (Mass Bay RRE).

A beautiful, professional exhibit but the photography is horrendous. The photographer should have used a tripod and panned very slowly, when necessary, or made many of the shots "stills." I became dizzy watching this amateur video.
