Discover the untold history of Lake Quinsigamond's submerged treasures! Join us for an exclusive presentation by Cheryl Stedtler, Hassanamisco Nipmuc Band citizen and Director of Project Mishoon, as she unveils the fascinating journey behind the discovery of ancient dugout canoes known as mishoonash. Delve into the rich heritage of the Nipmuc tribe and their ancestral navigation of the lake using these unique vessels. With scientific documentation, underwater imaging, and captivating insights, Cheryl will unveil the mysteries surrounding these rare mishoonash, dating back to the 1640s. Learn how these remarkable finds are rewriting the narrative of New England's archaeological landscape. Don't miss this opportunity to uncover the link between these submerged treasures and the historic mishoon discovered at Morton Pond.
