A Fall Excavation is the perfect time to dig. This is a week-long hands-on educational experience in which you will work side-by-side with professional archaeologists on actual archaeological research sites on the Montpelier property. While digging through Madison-era deposits, you will experience the excitement of uncovering artifacts and features that have been buried for more than two centuries! This is an ideal program for families to experience together.
This week-long expedition begins Sunday at 6:00pm and ends Friday at 4:00pm.
