Tom will speak about his archeological work at Broaddus Flats. The house, c1690, and the palisade enclosure were built directly over the remains of a Native American Indian village as suggested by the pattern of post holes found.

Artifacts from the colonial, contact and prehistoric periods were found, and some that have been donated to the Society will be on display. A select group of these artifacts is on exhibit at the stone Jail at Hanover Courthouse.
