Don’t miss your chance to experience Colorado’s rich past firsthand at Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s 2022 International Archaeology Day Expo from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 15, at Roxborough Intermediate School, 7370 Village Circle East in Littleton.
This free Expo is educational and fun for all ages. Exhibitors will provide demonstrations, hands-on activities, and informational displays about archaeology, historical archaeology, and cultural sites throughout Colorado. Professional archaeologists will deliver adult-oriented lectures.
