Archaeology and Archives Tour

Take a walk through history with our archaeologist, Breanna, on this fascinating new tour! Discover the science of archaeology and the tools of the trade while exploring the ancient Calusa shell midden—an amazing remnant of the people who once called this site home. Learn about the archaeological excavations that took place here two decades ago and how those discoveries continue to shape our understanding of the past. Then, step inside the Artifact Preservation Center to see the very artifacts unearthed during those excavations! Get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the world of Collections Management, where archaeology meets preservation, and catch a glimpse of what Breanna is currently working on. Join us and unearth the connections between history, preservation, and the people who make it possible!
