Want to channel
your inner historian and archeologist? Join us on a tour of the historic Oxmoor
House and archeological dig site! Oxmoor’s curator, Shirley Harmon, will
lead a historic tour of the Oxmoor house which is comprised of sections dating back
to 1791, 1829 and 1928, and tell about the history of the people who lived and
worked at Oxmoor Farm. Then archeologist Lori Stahlgren will lead us through a
tour of the excavation site. Participants will be able to dig and/or sift
artifacts from this active archeological site. The dig site is inside the
former enslaved dwellings. The archeology is part of an ongoing restoration
project that will culminate with a future exhibit inside one of the former
dwellings about the life of the enslaved people that once lived at Oxmoor Farm.
