In the spring of 2022 a simple project to install a new communications line led to the recovery of thousands of artifacts once used by the Wilbor Family, their employees, and other residents of the Wilbor House.  These objects were recovered by LCHS Staff and Volunteers over the course of many months and have been analyzed by the specialists at the Public Archaeology Lab, who also excavated a series of test pits in the area to better understand the archaeology of the Wilbor House.  Senior Archaeologist Holly Herbster and LCHS Executive Director Marjory O’Toole will share the most interesting artifacts and their significance during this presentation.

Pre-Registration is required.
