Family Archaeology Day

The Overfield Tavern Museum will be hosting a Family Archaeology Day on Sunday, October 12^th, from 1-4 p.m.
The museum has hired the Columbus-based firm Ohio Valley Archaeology, Inc. to conduct intensive excavations at the museum site, both in the backyard and under the floorboards of the 1808 log tavern, in advance of upcoming restoration work necessitated by the fire of December 7, 2024.

The public is invited to see the work in progress, talk to real archaeologists, and watch them uncover artifacts buried for more than 200 years. There will also be a variety of hands-on activities for young and old alike, including a kid-friendly dig. The archaeology project is being funded by a generous grant from The Troy Foundation.
Come out to the Overfield Tavern Museum at 201 E. Water Street in historic downtown Troy, Ohio, for this free, family-friendly event!
