Want to
channel your inner historian and archeologist? Join us on a tour of the
historic Oxmoor Farm estate and archeological dig site! Oxmoor’s curator,
Shirley Harmon, will lead a historic tour of the Oxmoor house comprised of
sections dating back to 1791, 1829 and 1928, and talk about the history of the
people who lived and worked at Oxmoor Farm. Archeologist Lori Stahlgren will
lead a tour of the excavation site, and participants will have the opportunity to
participate in a special dig. The dig site is located inside
the former enslaved dwellings and is part of an ongoing restoration project
that will culminate with a future on-site exhibit about the life of the
enslaved people that once lived at Oxmoor Farm.
Participants
must be able to traverse uneven terrain, ascend/descend stairs, and are required
to wear clothing and footwear suitable for outdoor walking. As a portion of
this event is held outdoors, participants should expect to be exposed to high
temperatures and humidity.
