Have you ever looked out over the beautiful vistas of Douglas County and wondered what it was like when people first traveled these lands? Are you fascinated by archaeology and curious about what we can learn from prehistoric artifacts?
Don’t miss your chance to experience Colorado’s colorful past firsthand at the 2019 International Archaeology Day Expo on Saturday, Oct. 19 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Fun for all ages and free for everyone, this event includes a lecture series, activity booths, demonstrations and off-site visits to archaeological sites.
