EVENT NOTICE

Artifact Workshop

April 17, 2010

Archaeology on Main Street Part 2
Artifacts from the West Tavern

On April 17, 2009, Archaeologist Darryl Kelman will be back to show artifacts discovered last summer during an archaeological excavation at one of Liverpool’s oldest homes, the West Tavern (547 Main Street). Kelman led the dig on behalf of the Mersey Heritage Society and the Nova Scotia Archaeology Society during the Privateers Days.

Now it’s time to examine the artifacts and see what we can learn from them. The Mersey Heritage Society invites everyone to hear about the artifacts and help catalogue them. This will help Darryl complete the report that the society must submit to the Province.

The event takes place at the former Gorham School on Payzant Street in Liverpool from 10:00am to Noon on April 17. For more information please call 354-2213.

Upcoming events:
August (tentative): A walking tour of “old” Liverpool the original Town Plot in the west end of town. Between Brunswick and Wolfe Streets lie the beginnings of Liverpool, along with interesting tales.

TBA: More investigating at Wobamkek Beach

November: Presentation of 2010 Archaeological Research
