SUMMARY:Archaeology Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission listed Smith’s Fort on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. As part of the celebration of our 250th year of independence\, Preservation Virginia’s Smith’s Fort is excited to offer a series of Archaeology Walking Tours at the site that will be open to the public in the Spring of 2026.The tours will include a walking survey of the areas excavated\, a discussion of goals and methods\, and we’ll share some of the secrets the ground has yielded so far\, as well as future plans for expanding our investigations and exhibits. \nWe’ll start at the Manor House with a  review of the work done over the years in that location\, and then walk the half mile trail to the Fort Site for a discussion of the excavations conducted between1968 and last summer. We will also share recently excavated artifacts that just returned from the conservation lab\, so we look forward to seeing everyone at the Manor House in the spring! \nIncluded with general admission or $5 on its own. Tickets are available for purchase on site.
