On Saturday, March 3rd, Dr. David Pacifico (Research Coordinator, Cardinal Stritch University) and Marc White (Conservation Director, Schlitz Audubon Nature Center) will lead a walking tour/hike of the central and northern portions of Schlitz Audubon’s Nipissing Great Lakes Terrace. We’ll explore in person the sites of 19th century Dutch farmsteads, which were the earliest known European settlements on the site. We’ll discuss the archaeological features on the surface as well as the potential for sub-surface European and American Indian archaeological features. This hike/tour expands on David and Marc’s January 20th lecture, though previous attendance is not required. Additional information and participation opportunities are available for free at online.stritch.edu/academics/courses under the ‘community partners’ tab. The hiking tour will meet in the Schlitz Audubon auditorium and will begin with a brief introduction on how to contribute to the research online.
