The
Cavendish Historical Society (CHS) is thrilled to host archeologist Charlie
Paquin for another stellar workshop. CHS volunteers met Charlie when they worked
on the Paleo Indian dig at Jackson Gore. A legendary Vermont “flint knapper,”
Charlie has done workshops at the Museum as well as led an Archaic Indian dig
in Cavendish.
On
June 5th (Sunday), from 1-4 pm, Charlie will be teaching “Introduction
to Flint-Knapping” at the CHS Museum, 1958 Main St (Route 131) in Cavendish. He
will demonstrate how the Paleo and Archaic Indians made projectile points
(arrow heads) and other tools used for hunting and daily life. Participants will
learn to make the simpler tools at this workshop. The cost is $25 per person
and includes all materials and supplies. Participants must pre register by May
27 (Friday) as the class size is limited.
To pre
register, call 802-226-7807 or e-mail margoc@tds.net
You can also send a check for $25 to CHS, PO Box 472, Cavendish VT 05142
