Archaeology Day

Be an Archaeologist for the day! Fort Caspar Museum will host a free Archaeology Day event on Saturday, August 16th from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. This is a drop-in program so no reservations required, and anyone eight years and older is welcome. Participants should bring hats, work gloves, sunscreen, and water.
Join volunteers from the Wyoming Archaeological Society and the Fort Caspar Museum Association to look for evidence of the Fortβs past by screening dirt removed from the grounds. Things found during previous screening events include: metal and shell buttons; pieces of bullet cartridges and glass bottles; fragments of ceramic plates or cups; screws, bolts, and rivets from wagons; and metal from horse tack or saddles. (NOTE: All materials found will become the property of Fort Caspar Museum.)
