Come one, come all to become a history detective and experience archaeology first hand at the Colonial Pemaquid Historic Site. Drop in between 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 5.
Just outside Fort William Henry, each participant will unearth and assemble mysterious artifacts, then determine their use and history while learning the skills of an archaeologist.
Participants will also receive a junior archaeologist certificate and a photograph of their completed find. The program is free and designed for youth ages 5-14 years old, but all ages are welcome.
The event will be led by Neill De Paoli, historic site manager, historian, and archaeologist.
The rain date is Sunday, Aug. 6.
