The History Beneath Us archaeology program returns to the General Lew Wallace Study & Museum on September 22-23 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day to revisit the excavation begun in General Wallace’s backyard in September and to break some new ground.
The previous archaeological excavations on the grounds were so popular that our partner organization, University of Indianapolis
Visitors to the grounds will be able to observe the archaeologists at work, examine the findings as they are uncovered, and participate in parts of the process by scraping dirt with trowels and screening for artifacts alongside the excavation crew. For families with smaller children, the Archaeologist Training area offers them the chance to dig in a separate area where they will be sure to find “artifacts.”
This is a great event for the whole family, so come out and make a day of it!
