October 15 – Ancient Bones of Valley Forge: Fossils of the Port Kennedy Bone Cave
The Port Kennedy Bone Cave, one of the most significant Pleistocene-era fossil finds in this part of the country, gives us a fascinating glimpse of what life was like at Valley Forge 750,000 years ago, and of the different species that made this area their home.
