State Museum Exhibit

The Fort Hunter archaeological excavation is the subject of an exhibit at the State Museum of Pennsylvania.  Why We Dig History at Fort Hunter Mansion and Park provides visitors an opportunity to view artifacts from the past five years of excavations at the fort. It explains how and why the archaeologists are conducting this investigation at the site of an important French and Indian War fortification.  The exhibit text follows the methods employed to identify the site, the actual excavations and then the analysis which is conducted after the artifacts return to the lab.  Visit http://www.statemuseumpa.org/ for more information.
