Digging into History with the Harbor Springs Area Historical Society

Nov. 16, 2024

Were you the kind of kid who watched a lot of Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider and wanted to be an archeologist when you grew up? We have the next best thing: a special archeology presentation on the King House with the Harbor Springs Area Historical Society (HSHS). The King House is one of only two log cabins remaining from a historic Odawa community in the 1850s in what is now Good Hart. Kerri Finlayson, professor of anthropology and sociology at North Central Michigan College, will discuss the archaeological excavations at the village site. According to the HSHS, Finlayson “has led archaeological excavations in Belize, Nicaragua, and northern Michigan at both prehistoric and historic sites. She and co-director, Dave Frurip, have been excavating at the King House since 2016.” Catch the presentation at the Harbor Springs History Museum at 5:30pm on Nov. 21.
