Vermont Archeology Month!
September 2010

More and more Vermonters look forward to Vermont Archeology Month each September. Teachers look for site tours where they can bring students to learn about Native American life in Vermont over thousands of years; home-schoolers get out of the house to learn about Vermont archeology, Native Americans, local and national history, and the environment; history buffs can walk hills and mountains with knowledgeable tour guides to discover stories hiding in the woods; and lots of people simply look forward to listening to interesting speakers on interesting topics. Read through this Calendar of Events (or go to the web site at http://vtarchaeology.org/events )and see if there’s one or two events that you want to write down on your schedule; bring a friend, bring your kids or grandkids, and then go and have fun.

The State of Vermont and The Vermont Archaeological Society are proud to invite you to join us in celebrating Vermont archeology.

The small state of Vermont boasts a rich and rewarding historical heritage. Today, that history is well preserved in an exceptional collection of state-owned historic sites stretching the length of the state. Ranging from precontact encampments, to pivotal Revolutionary War sites, to the private homesteads of U.S. presidents, Vermont's historic sites chronicle the development of a state, its people and the nation around it.
