Are you into collecting artifacts? Have an arrowhead that you found a long time ago? Interested in finding out more about it? The Anderson County Historical Society Museum will host an Artifact Identification Day. A time where anyone may bring objects they have discovered and learn about them from experts. The program is free and open to the public and will be held at the Anderson County Historical Society Museum. Local archeological hobbyists will identify the items to the best of their ability and provide insights about the history connected to them. Wouldn’t it be awesome to know what tribe may have used that delicately carved arrowhead that’s been sitting on your mantel for years, or, the stone tool that you found in the creek bed when you were a kid. Artifacts will be examined on a first-come, first-served basis.
The Kansas Historical Society has recorded at least 160 prehistoric and historic sites in Anderson County alone. Kansas’s archaeological record date back over 14,000 years to the end of the last ice age. Kansas residents regularly encounter artifacts and evidence of the historic and prehistoric past. It will be held Saturday, January 25th from 9:00 to 4:00.
