Update on the Shays’ Settlement Project, Sandgate, VT

Join us for this remote Zoom presentation by Steve Butz, SUNY/Shay’s Settlement Project

The Shays’ Settlement Project is the first formal archaeological study of the ruins of a fortified 18th century settlement located in the mountains of Southern Vermont. The settlement was founded by Captain Daniel Shays and his fellow refugees who fled Massachusetts following the uprising he commanded there in 1787. Incredibly, this lost piece of American history lay hidden and untouched for over 200 years until its rediscovery in April 2013. http://www.shayssettlement.org/

The presentation will be followed by a brief VAS business meeting at which the treasurer will deliver her report and new board members will be elected.

Part of Vermont Archaeology Month 2020. Sponsored by the Vermont Archaeological Society.
