One of our very favorite events of the year is right around the corner—Michigan Archaeology Day!

Join us next Saturday, October 24th from 10 am - 4 pm at the Michigan History Center and become an archaeologist for a day! There will be two special presentations, “Setting the Straits on Fire: Reconstructing Waganakising Fire History” and “Historical Archaeology and the Battles of the River Raisin, Monroe, MI,” and tons of activities for all ages including Archaic Hunting Skills, a scavenger hunt, pinch-pot making, and more! There will also be lots of exhibitors discussing their archaeological programs projects all over the state. If you have ever wondered what it would be like to be an archaeologist—or are just looking for an afternoon of historical fun with the kids—this event is for you!

Check out the flyer below for more details, and see the program agenda at https://www.michigan.gov/mhc/events/2026/10/24/michigan-history-museum---michigan-archaeology-day-2026 . And see if you can spot HSM’s very own Emily Powell and Claire Herhold at the event!
