Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

What was once a group of seemingly haphazard objects can now help to demonstrate how Beaver Meadows Visitor Center was designed to accommodate an increasingly large influx of visitors to Rocky Mountain National Park. From auditorium benches to standing ashtrays, this exhibit features the smaller details that developed out of a series of compromises between National Park Service administrators and Taliesin Associated Architects. While these pieces might seem insignificant when considered separately, collectively then can help us conceptualize the culture of Mission 66 and the values that it sought to promote.
In this exhibit, we discuss objects that helped to facilitate visitor experiences at Beaver Meadows.
