Hiking Ruins Seldom Seen in Southern New Englandwith Dr. Nick Bellantoni
Former State Archaeologist Nick Bellantoni will join us to discuss his new book, entitled HikingRuins in Southern New England, a guide to 40 little known archaeological sites in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Many people have no idea that there are archaeological sites in the area with a cultural tale to tell, situated on public lands where they are allowed to hike. Nick will highlight some of the archaeological gems referenced in the book and share the history and purpose of the sites and the people who lived on the land around them.
