Why Honey Hollow?
The students will have the opportunity to take part in an ongoing archeological dig at Tuckamony Farm. Our students will have the chance to work with Jerry Lomas, an archeologist at the site. They will be given instructions and the tools to take part in a “real life” archeological dig.
The site is located next to a 200+ year old farmhouse. Many archeological finds have been unearthed in the “midden” (trash pit) area used by the workers and families that lived on the farm long before trash trucks were invented. The kids have really enjoyed this hand-on experience and have even found some artifacts that were tagged and are now part of the collection at Honey Hollow.
Attire:
Please keep an eye on the forecast for the day of the trip. The students are asked to wear clothing they won’t mind “getting dirty”. They are asked to wear long pants and sneakers for they will be working in an active archeological site. The mornings can be chilly so a sweatshirt or jacket is never a bad idea.
Lunch: Please pack a NUT FREE lunch.
The farm has picnic tables that are located near the dig site. I will provide materials for hand washing and the students will eat their lunch outdoors at the end of the dig. Again, please make sure that lunches are NUT FREE.
Please contact me if you should have any questions or concerns.
I thank you for your partnership this year. The kids will have a great time at Honey Hollow!
