Jul. 28, 2009 - Fort St. Joseph Archeology

Taylor got to participate in an archeology program last week where he actually got to do the  work of an archeologist.  On the last day I said to him, “Well, now do you have a little better idea what it’s actually like?”  He replied, “Mom, we DID ALL THE STUFF.”  His answer was said with an attitude of, “No, Mom, I really was an archeologist.”  Though he would say it like that, he’s much too mature now. It really is a great program where they do all the parts including the set up, digging, dusting, watering, cleaning, paperwork and more.  He found several beads and some bones while he was there. If you are anywhere near Niles MI it might be worth a trip to check it out.  They have a public open house this weekend where you can see the process as well as re-enactors portraying life at the time and showing artifacts, weapons and tools that have been found.  We’ve gone several times and we always enjoy it and learn something.  Apparently this dig site and program is the only one like it in the Midwest which is kind of neat for anyone near here.  Click here for more information on the Fort open house  .
