Fort Churchill was built in1860 to provide protection for early settlers and westbound emigrants as well as guard the Pony Express and telegraph lines.

Gizmo was hired to design and fabricate a new Visitor Center, complete with informational graphics, artifacts, and a topographical maps. In addition, we built an observation deck in one of the soldier barrack ruins, including replica bunk beds, railings and guard-rails, benches, and informational graphics. Lastly, we fabricated outdoor wayfinding infrastructure and benches out of steel, cedar, and custom concrete forms.
