Susquehanna River Archaeological Center, (SRAC)
345 Broad Street in Waverly, NY.
100 years ago, in the summer of 1916, Warren
K. Moorehead formed a controversial
expedition of the Susquehanna River and the
Native American sites found there. SRAC's
executive director, Deb Twigg will tell this story
of the expedition that started at the mouth of
the Susquehanna in Cooperstown, NY to the
Chesapeake Bay and met with local historical
societies and antiquarians to learn more about
the Native Indian cultures, and it would be the
Murray Farm in Athens PA that in the end
would be the most significant site of the whole
trip.
With letters from the actual people who were
involved in the expedition including
Moorehead himself, as well as official reports,
and many pictures, Twigg will share a very
informative and entertaining report.
The doors will open at 6pm, with the program running from 6:30 7:30pm.
Admission is $6 Adults, $4 for SRAC members and students. The public is advised
that the SRAC gift shop and exhibit hall will also be open during this time as well
