“The Champlain Sea and Indigenous Settlement of Vermont”, a presentation by Professor John Crock, Director of the UVM Consulting Archeology Program.
In 1849 railroad construction workers in Charlotte were amazed to unearth a complete skeleton of a whale. The science of geology and the Earth’s history was in its infancy at the time, and the indisputable evidence of a sea-going mammal hundreds of miles from the Atlantic coast confirmed that many geological changes had taken place. Although sometimes referred to tongue-in-cheek as the “West Coast of New England” it really was salt water at one time. Join us for a presentation to learn more about this history.
Light refreshments offered.
