HERKIMER — The yard at the Herkimer County Historical Society was the site of an archaeological dig during the summer. Now some of the artifacts unearthed during that dig are on display. The historical society has opened a new exhibit in its Suiter Mansion on the village of Herkimer’s Historic Four Corners featuring some of the artifacts. While the dig started out as a search for Fort Dayton, most of the findings were from Dr. A. Walter Suiter’s medical practice and included medicine bottles and medical instruments, according to historical society Executive Director Susan Perkins. Many of the items were found in the well that was uncovered the first day of the dig and some were in surprisingly good shape, such as a stoneware jug and an early soap dispenser. <http://www.littlefallstimes.com/article/20141002/NEWS/141009853> -- Bob Sullivan Schenectady Digital History Archive <http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/> Schenectady County (NY) Public Library
