Description
8 yrs + / May 5 / $20 (call[masked] for scout group pricing)
Have you ever wanted to be an archaeologist? This is your chance! When the Robinson Nature Center was being built, an area of archeological significance was found and protected on the property. This area contains clues to life in the mill town once known as Simpsonville, as well as potential evidence for earlier, Native American activity.
During this special event, participants will assist in on-site archaeological excavation. Participants will receive training on basic techniques for uncovering, cataloging and archiving artifacts. The program also features a tour of the Simpsonville Mill ruins, and a hands-on discussion of artifacts found during previous excavations of the Simpsonville Mill. Come out and excavate Simpsonville's past!
Register for one of three sessions. Due to the sensitive nature of the site, registration is limited to only twenty participants for each session and it is required that children under the age of 16 register with an adult. Registration/Information:[masked]
