This summer Amanda and Brian are continuing the Frazier Sawmill excavations at Clear Creek State Park one weekend each month and are providing Chapter members an opportunity to attend and participate on this project..

The excavation so far has uncovered what appears to be part of a small blacksmith shop which contains many artifacts including tools used in the shop and items that were made and repaired there. The excavation is shallow and the soils easy to work.

The scheduled weekend dates are :

June 14 & 15

July 12 & 13

August 2 & 3

Sept. 13 & 14

Oct. 11 & 12 (lab sessions)

Volunteers will work in two sessions each day from 9:00 – 12:00 and 1:00 – 4:00, with an hour for lunch (bring your own food) on both days. No experience is required. Volunteers are reminded to wear old clothes and bring a kneeling pad and a flat pointed trowel if available. All other tools are provided. Restrooms are available nearby.

Chapter members are welcome on both days, but will need to register separately for each day.

Saturdays are being scheduled as park program days and if chapter members want to come on Saturday they need to pre-register with Suzann Rensel at the park. She can be reached at (814)-752-2368 or email at ra-clearcreekenved@state.pa.us

Sundays are scheduled as a day for Chapter 29 members. Amanda asks that you contact her if you are planning to attend on Sundays. Amanda can be reached at (724) 654-2744 or email at AVALKO@mbakercorp.com
