Archaeology Fair
Saturday, October 17, 2015
12:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Marquette Regional History Center
Marquette, MI

"Spend a great afternoon learning all about archaeology with lots of hands-on activities, watch demonstrations, see artifacts and displays at our interactive booths. You'll see how archaeologists piece together history! Come any time, included with admission. A great event for families, scouts, clubs, and all ages.

"New for 2015: This year, archaeologists will share new information about the recently excavated GLO#3 protohistoric campsite where numerous French trade items dating back to the early to mid 1600's were found with stone arrowheads and other artifacts. Evidence uncovered at this Marquette County site, including thousands of moose bone fragments, indicate that the site was being used by local Native Americans as a winter campsite sometime between 1630-1650. For the first time, artifacts found during the 2012/2013 excavation at the site will be on display, at our fair!

"Brief presentations about this site work will be held at 12:30 and 2:00."

Hartwick Pines Hike
Friday, September 25, 2015
Grayling, MI
Michigan has only 1% of its pre-colonial old-growth forests left, and Hartwick Pines is one of those places. Unbelievably towering pines, maple and more offer an unforgettable walk through time. We'll take a look at the fall plants along the trail and revel in the beauty of the place.
