Ranger Lexie Lowe, National Park Service
"Archeology at Rural Plains”
The last two decades have seen far-ranging archeological investigations at Rural Plains, uncovering much that was hidden for decades or centuries. In her talk, Ranger Lexie will discuss the archeological resources at the site; the innovative methods and technologies that archeologists have used to study the evidence of the human past; and what new information has been garnered from these investiga-tions at Rural Plains.
The lectures begin at 6:30 on the lawn in front of the Shelton House at Rural Plains, located at 7273 Studley Road. They are free and open to the public — pic-nic suppers are encouraged! (Rain location: Enon United Methodist Church, 6156 Studley Road.)
