There is no better
place to experience all that Pennsylvania agriculture has to offer than the
Pennsylvania Farm Show.
Tomorrow the 97th Pennsylvania Farm Show opens and we will be
there. Our exhibit is installed and is
sure to interest all of the visitors interested in archaeology.

This year’s
exhibit theme is the Archaeology of the French and Indian War (1756-1763). We
will be showcasing the State Museum’s excavations at Fort Hunter as well as
excavations at Fort LeBoeuf, Fort Augusta, and Fort Loudoun. A brochure
detailing the archaeology of this time period will also be available. Our
exhibit wouldn’t be complete without the 20’ dugout canoe which is always an
eye catching attraction. French and Indian War period re-enactors will be
present to answer questions and tell stories.

Also, this year
the Bureau for Historic Preservation’s exhibit booth will be located directly
across the aisle from our own booth, providing a united display for the PHMC. We are located in the Family Living Section, on the
McClay Street side, not far from the carousel and the butter sculpture - hope
to see you there! January 5th – 12th Pennsylvania Farm
Show: 9am - 9pm Saturday to Friday, and 9am - 3pm on Saturday 12th.
