What: All ages welcomed to participate in a Public Archaeology program!
GLEN MILLS, PA – Dig into history at Newlin Grist Mill on Saturday, October 15, 2016 from 10 am-3pm as the site celebrates and participates in International Archaeology Day.
This year’s International Archaeology Day coincides with the final Public Archaeology excavation of the year at Newlin Grist Mill.

Much more remains to be explored in these locations. Don’t miss the chance to be part of the discoveries!
This event is free to the public and open to all ages. No reservations are required. If you would like to help out with the dig, be sure to wear clothes that can get dirty and close-toed footwear. Bring work gloves if you have them; the site has a limited number of pairs to lend.

About The Nicholas Newlin Foundation
Founded in 1960, the purpose of the Nicholas Newlin Foundation is to preserve our land and historic buildings for the pleasure and education of the public.
In an area of urban growth, the Foundation maintains open land as a refuge for plants, animals, and birds, and for the people who come to enjoy them. In an era of high technology, it offers visitors insights into the vanished life of the rural eighteenth century. This two-fold objective of environmental and historical concerns is combined in a single theme wherever possible.
Following the ideals of its founder, E. Mortimer Newlin, the Foundation will strive to enhance its service to the public, while securing its future by managing its finances wisely.
