11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Michigan Historical Museum, Lansing

• Outdoor Fun
• Presentations
• Children's Activities
• Special Displays

Each year, the Michigan Historical Museum and the Office of the State Archaeologist team up to present one of the state's most anticipated archaeology events for the general public. 

Here is your chance to meet professional archaeologists, to learn of their research and adventures and to see one-day-only exhibits from their archaeological digs and underwater archaeological explorations. Add to this a cartload of fun family activities, and by the end of the day, everyone will "dig" history!

An archaeology information station in the museum lobby offers free handouts about archaeology from the Office of the State Archaeologist (OSA), Conference on Michigan Archaeology and the Michigan Archaeological Society. Sean Dunham of Commonwealth Cultural Resources Group and other archaeologists will be on hand to answer your questions.
Admission to this event is free of charge. For more information, please send us an e-mail or telephone (517) 373-3559.
