It’s Archaeology Month in Virginia! Learn all about archaeology in Louisa County with our hands-on history fun! Each month Free Family Day focuses on a different topic and features living history demonstrations with children’s activities, and an old-fashioned, one-room schoolhouse lesson. This month features archaeological discoveries in Louisa County and explains how archaeologists can teach us about Louisa’s past. We’ll feature a special presentation on the history of 19th century mining in Mineral, VA.
Entrance to the day’s festivities, as well as the Sargeant Museum of Louisa County History, is FREE for all attendees!
