Where History Continues to be Written

Archaeology on the Street

Summer Archaeology Field School

FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS (AGES 13-18) JULY 23 THROUGH JULY 27

In a valley filled with history, Historic Huguenot Street stands out as one of the most archaeologically rich sites in the region. Many noteable artifacts from over 330 years of European settlement as well as Native American artifacts dating back to 8,000 B.C. have been discovered.

Students will experience this tangible history working hands-on under the direction of Kevin Van Kleeck, resident archaeologist and member of HHS's Historical Preservation Team. Students will take part in a live dig—immersed in the day-to-day life of an archaeologist as they work this summer’s site. Students can expect to learn research reporting and handling of actual historical artifacts. They will create scaled-drawings of individual archaeology units and develop artifacts for exhibition. This one-week program is tailor-made for a college essay or resume. Ages 13-18.

$300 per week.  $275 for Friends of Huguenot Street.
