Archeological Presentation in April: "History and Heritage: Celebrate Local Archeology" Charles L. Hall, Ph.D., Maryland State Terrestrial Archeologist Maryland Historical Trust, Maryland Department of Planning Thursday evening the 16th of April at 7PM Thurmont Regional Library, Community Room 76 East Moser Road Thurmont, MD 21788 (301) 600-7200 Frederick County is a very special place today.  Did you know that it has been special to people for thousands of years?  Long before the first English settlers made their way up the Potomac river from the tidewater regions of Maryland some three hundred years ago, Native American Indians called this special place home.  The story of these Native American inhabitants of what we now call Frederick County is known only through archeology.  For nearly forty years, the State Archeologist's office has been investigating prehistoric sites in Frederick County.  Come hear what we've learned about the Native American prehistory of this special place through the archeological study of sites from the shores of the Potomac River to the Pennsylvania line. Please register at http://host.evanced.info/fcpl/evanced/eventcalendar.asp if you think you might be attending.  The exhibit, "Written in Bone: Forensic Files of the 17th-Century Chesapeake" by curator, Dr. Douglas Owsley, opens at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History on February 7, 2009 and runs through February 6, 2011.  The Museum is located at 10th and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C.
