Linking Archaeology with Preservation at Fairfield Plantation
August 14-20, 2016 |
Experience the thrill of re-discovering history at Fairfield Plantation. Fairfield was home to one of Virginia’s magnificent manor houses, an architectural enigma once surrounded by 7,000 acres of tobacco fields and forestland at the heart of Gloucester County, just north of Williamsburg. This project is a rare opportunity to try your hand at both archaeology and historic preservation. Volunteers will have a full week of activities, including instruction in excavation techniques, making a “hot mix” mortar from burned shell, and bricklaying techniques.
