Capital City Museum, Kentucky Heritage Council, City of Frankfort Planning and Parks Divisions, Frankfort Architectural Review Board, Frankfort Parks and Recreation, and Kentucky Historical Society have put together an adventurous lesson plan to teach kids about what an archaeologist really does. It's not just about finding artifacts, but also piecing together stories based on what you find and where.
With the guidance of an actual archaeologist, your child can try their hand at excavation and investigation through a controlled surface collection (meaning we control where artifacts are collected from at all times and we only collect from the grass or ground surface. We do not dig.)
Students begin by collecting and identifying artifacts from an assigned spot within a grid, and by the end of the day, everyone will come together to see if they can tell a story using everything that was found.
It's free to participate, but spots are limited. Reserve your spots here: https://bit.ly/CCMArchaeology
When: May 11th, 10am-12pm
Where: 100 Cove Spring Road (Lower Cove)
* Event is Rain or Shine! In case of bad weather, we will move the activity to a shelter within the park.
