About this Event

Join archaeologists from Wayne State University to learn about the people who lived here back when we were a much younger city! They'll bring tools of the trade for you to look at and some archaeological puzzles for you to solve. They'll also bring along some artifacts that they have excavated here in Detroit. Come see what you can discover about the past through the objects other Detroiters left behind. Ages 6+.

Registration is not required. This program is first-come, first-served on the day of the program.

Questions? Please contact Crystal Jolly-Washington at 313-481-1840 or [email protected].
