Thursday, October 26, 2023 @ 7:00 pm
FreeThe Medford Historical Commission and The Public Archaeology Laboratory, Inc. (PAL) of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, invite you to the program, “History Beneath Our Feet: The Archeology of Thomas Brooks Park,” at the Medford Public Library. Located off of Grove Street in West Medford, Thomas Brooks Park is a wooded and grassy parcel that is an important reminder of Native Americans, northern slavery, and the Brooks family. PAL and the Historical Commission will share artifacts that were excavated by volunteers during a recent archaeological dig, and talk about how these tiny fragments provide greater insight into the people whom inhabited the landscape.
