TOPIC – “Introduction to the Pine Hawk Discovery”
Speaker – Mr. Doug Halley
Learn about Acton’s most significant archaeological discovery, the Pine Hawk site in South Acton. The site was inhabited by Native Americans for over several thousand years and yielded a treasure trove of artifacts.
Doug Halley was the Acton official most involved in the discovery of this site that unfolded over 20 years ago. He will describe that process of discovery, its significance, and how the project activated an increased interest in historical preservation, such as the Trail Through Time in North Acton. Doug also created an award-winning exhibit about Pine Hawk, which can be seen today on the ground floor of the Acton Memorial Library.
