Hi, I tried to post this two weeks ago but it never showed up on the list...at least I didn't see it.. In regards to involvement in local history has anyone considered doing an archaeological program? I've just finished a six week dig for the Rye (New York) Historical Society we had over 400 students and parents come to the site to excavate. It was incredible. The kids loved it and got a lot out of finding out about their past by using their hands and not just looking stuff up in a book. I've worked with the Historical Society in putting together this archaeological/education program. You might try to contact your local university and see if the archaeologists are willing to work with you and your students. If you'd like more information on the program I set up, just let me know. Best of luck, Chris Ricciarid [log in to unmask]
