City Archaeology Project

Boston has a rich history, an here's another way to experience it. The City Archaeology Project is in the North End. From their website:

"The City Archaeology Program offers a number of opportunities for the public to experience Boston’s archaeological legacy. The 4,000-square-foot City Archaeology Laboratory, Education, and Curation Center is located in the North End in the brick, gold-domed building between the entrance to the Callahan Tunnel and the exit of the Sumner Tunnel, just 200 feet west of the Freedom Trail. At present, the lab is open Monday through Friday by appointment, and on weekends for special events. During the last year, thousands of visitors toured the lab and viewed the collections. Other activities offered by the City Archaeology Program include a hands-on artifact type collection, an artifact washing and processing station, an experimental Native American ceramic workshop, a simulated dig box, and many other stations. "

I have been unable to find a phone number, email or other contact info, but I will keep searching, and update this post as soon as I get something. But if you happen to be out and about in the North End, you might want to drop in to see what it's like. :-)
