Don’t miss this fascinating presentation!
Hiking Ruins Southern New England is a guide to hiking archaeological sites in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Many people have no idea that there are archaeological sites in the area, on public lands where they are allowed to hike.
There are numerous hikes featuring historic ruins in Connecticut to explore such as: A hike through Revolutionary War history on the Putnam Memorial State Park Trail; the legendary and significant archeological ruins on the Lighthouse Village and Jessie Gerard Trails in Barkhamsted; the ruins of an old amusement park on the Suburban Park Trail in Unionville; the Farmington Canal Trail, and so much more!
Dr. Nicholas F. Bellantoni is emeritus Connecticut State Archaeologist and an associate research professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Connecticut. He served as the state archaeologist with the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History and Archaeology Center in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences at the University of Connecticut.
The Curious Cat Bookshop will have books for sale the night of the event.
Registration required for in-person attendance only.
