SUMMARY:Battlefield Archaeology Day
DESCRIPTION:Purchase Tickets Here\n\n\n\n\nSee how archaeologists uncover artifacts at Ridgefield Historical Society on Sept. 20 \n\n\n\nJoin the Ridgefield Historical Society for Battlefield Archaeology Day on Saturday\, Sept. 20\, from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Society’s Scott House headquarters\, 4 Sunset Lane. Meet the archaeologists who are studying the 1777 Battle of Ridgefield and finding musket balls and uniform buttons at sites where the battle was fought. Watch them demonstrate metal detecting as well as ground penetrating radar\, the technology that allows them to see what’s buried underground without having to dig. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscover the fascinating world of archaeology during a day filled with hands-on activities. Try metal detecting and see what you can uncover! Use an archaeological sifting screen to examine soil you’ve collected from an excavation site. Who knows? You may uncover a few treasures! \n\n\n\nBe sure to take some time to go inside the Scott House to see some of the actual artifacts that the archaeologists of Heritage Consultants have found around Ridgefield. Learn how the experts are able to “read” these objects to expand what we know of Ridgefield’s role in the American Revolution. \n\n\n\nThis will be a drop-in program (stop by any time between 2 and 5pm) with ongoing activities; the cost is $20 per family of Ridgefield Historical Society members and $25 per family for those who aren’t yet members\, with a limit of 25 families so that everyone gets to participate. A ticket covers all members of your immediate family. Tickets are limited\, non-refundable\, and expected to sell out quickly. The rain date is Sun. Sept. 21\, 2-5pm.
