The Journeys field trips on Wednesday, November 18 will expand on Dr. Jerald T. Milanich’s lecture, “The 4,000-Year-Old History of Cannon’s Point,” with guided tours of Cannon’s Point Preserve led by Dr. Milanich. Participants will have the unique opportunity to visit several of the archaeological sites discussed during the previous evening’s lecture, hearing firsthand from the archaeologist who directed the landmark excavations that deepened our understanding of Cannon’s Point.
Guests may choose between two identical tour offerings: a morning tour beginning at 9 a.m., or an afternoon tour beginning at 1:30 p.m. Each tour will last approximately three hours. Participants will meet at Taylor’s Fish Camp, where parking will be available. Transportation will be provided from the fish camp to the archaeological sites located within Cannon’s Point Preserve. Space is limited to thirty participants per tour, and advance registration is required. Lunch is not provided. Field trip participation requires walking and standing for extended periods on both even and uneven terrain.
