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
