Digging Deeper: Stories in Local Archaeology

Mordecai Historic Park 1 Mimosa St, Raleigh

As Mordecai Historic Park investigates its own archaeological footprint, the park will host a series of lectures with local experts sharing about their projects at historic sites, cemeteries, and more. In November we welcome Melissa Timo, Staff Archaeologist and Historic Cemetery Specialist with the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology. She will speak on her work in historic cemeteries throughout the state and preservation efforts, challenges, and local resources. Registration is not required but is encouraged. Stay tuned for information on future lectures in this series, with 2025 dates to be announced soon. Location: Mordecai Historic ParkAges: AllCost: FreeRegister on RecLink
