Archaeology Day at Spring Hill Historic Hpme

Join us for our 3rd Annual Archaeology Day at Spring Hill Historic Home!

History comes to life at Spring Hill Historic Home’s Archaeology Day on August 16, 2025 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm! Visitors of all ages are invited to get their hands dirty and unearth the secrets of our over 200-year-old property!

Spring Hill Members can join us for free preview on Friday, August 15, 2025 from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm. Meet and enjoy a special presentation from our Resident Archaeologist, Nicole Curlutu.

Then, join us for the public dig the next morning! This event will feature two active dig locations, giving you an opportunity to see archaeology in action. Try your hand at sifting and screening for artifacts and learn proper artifact washing techniques alongside experienced volunteers.

Young explorers will love the Kids Station, designed to spark curiosity through hands-on activities. Guests can also enjoy artifact displays showcasing remarkable finds from past digs at Spring Hill, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of those who called this place home. Families can add an extra layer of fun with an all-ages Archaeology Scavenger Hunt, leading them around the buildings and grounds of Spring Hill. Plus, self-guided tours of the historic home will be available throughout the day.

All proceeds from this event directly contribute to the Archaeology Program at Spring Hill Historic Home. Your contributions help us to provide quality research, development, and educational outreach to our community!
