MONADNOCK \muh-nad-nock \
HARD TO PRONOUNCE. TOUGH TO SPELL. FULL OF MEANING.

• A mountain in New Hampshire.

  [Origin: Algonquian monadnock < mountain who stands alone]

Weaving together storytelling, technology and exhibit design, we create media-driven environments that transport visitors to another place, another time. At Monadnock, we choose projects that allow us to tell stories that celebrate and uplift unheard voices. We seek to diversify the narratives people experience in museums and historic sites. And we challenge ourselves to think and act in ways that reflect a commitment to racial equity and social justice, both personally and professionally.
