Join the DC Preservation League at the DC Day of Archaeology tomorrow between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM! You'll be able to talk to archaeologists in person and learn about the science and art of doing archaeology as well as volunteer opportunities in the field.

There will be engaging activities for children, including mock excavations, hands-on artifact displays, and crafts. The archaeology of local pre-contact and historic inhabitants of the area will also be featured. Visitors will have an opportunity to enjoy the Dumbarton House Museum, music, and some of DC’s best food trucks.

We hope to see you there! Special thanks to DC Archaeology for working on this event.
