Learn about archaeology at Kellogg Environmental Center program in Derby


DERBY - Join us June 19 at Kellogg Environmental Center for an in-person program where participants will be able to learn about archaeology and how to analyze past cultures through hands-on activities.

Participants will meet under the tent at the Kellogg Environmental Center where they will take part in a simulation of an archaeological dig.  


Will you be able to deduct which family occupied your site based on the materials you find?  

This event is family-friendly, and all materials will be provided.  

Once participants solve this mystery, they will be led inside where they will learn about the Freeman Family of Black Governors, an archaeological site in Osbornedale State Park.  

Here participants will be able to see and touch examples of real artifacts recovered during excavations.


Registration for this program is required and can be done through the Connecticut DEEP Calendar of Events, https://www.depdata.ct.gov/calendar/listevs.asp?selecttype=all .  

If you have questions or need assistance registering contact susan.quincy@ct.gov for assistance.


For further information or directions please email donna.kingston@ct.gov or call 203-734-2513. 


This is a press release from Kellogg Environmental Center.
