Description

If these trees could talk, the stories they would tell! As a part of the Dimple Dell Preservation Community's Family Day, come join a walk with a real archaeologist who works at this site! Archaeologist Elizabeth Hora will share with you the history of the pioneer home, and how early settlers worked to grow their own food. Learn about the importance of their fruit orchards, gardens and farm animals. Elizabeth's research is in dendroarchaeology - how we can read tree rings to learn about the past, and she will share with you samples of her research at the Muir-Poulsen Grove. Family Day also includes native story tellers and pioneer games, such as hoop rolling and making flour sack dolls. Come bring the whole family for a fun morrning out at the old homestead!
