Patriots Point Naval Museum Kiosk

Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum needed to replace an aging wooden display at their UH-1C Iroquois Huey exhibit.
 

They came to us directly with a description of what they needed. No drawings. No existing design to work from. We designed it, built it, finished it, and installed it on site.

The original wooden kiosk — weathered and past its useful life. Patriots Point needed a permanent replacement built to survive years of outdoor exposure.

The finished enclosure in the shop before installation — aluminum, TIG welded, powder coated in olive drab. The UH-1C interpretive panel sourced and fitted by Alphidia.

Sound Module for Kiosk_edited.jpg

The heart of the interactive system — a custom configured audio module triggered by the push button. 12VDC, outdoor rated, designed and wired in-house by Alphidia.
