from Historic Preservation Trust of Berks County
The Historic Preservation Trust of Berks County presents Archaeology Open House for its third Saturday summer program for the month of September on Saturday, Sept. 21, from 10 a.m. to noon.
Join the Chapter 21 Archaeologists in Morlatton Village to learn more about the archaeological discoveries made on the property. On Sept. 21, the Archaeologists will be excavating behind the George Douglas Mansion located next to the White Horse Inn. This area was the location and yard of a 19th-century frame barn or large wagon shed that was demolished in the 1970s or 80s. In addition to this dig, archaeology volunteers will have displays in the Mouns Jones House and provide tours of the property. In case of inclement weather, this presentation will be moved indoors to the White Horse Inn.
Suggested donation $2/person. All proceeds benefit the Trust. Parking is located across the street from the White Horse Inn on Old Philadelphia Pike.
