The York River Oyster Revolution

Sunday, October 26 · 2PM
Gloucester Historic Courthouse

Dr. Martin Gallivan will present archaeological research on 1,400 years of Native settlement along the lower York River. Beginning around AD 200, Indigenous communities pioneered oyster fishery management and founded permanent villages long before agriculture. His talk highlights their sustainable practices and enduring lessons in environmental stewardship.

This program is made possible through the partnership of the Gloucester Historical Society, Gloucester 250 Committee, and the Gloucester Museum of History.
