Join our local archeological experts at the Hopewell Museum as we explore the tools and technologies of the American Indians of the Hopewell Valley—9,000 years ago to today. We'll highlight the skill and artistry of the Native American Indians of Hopewell Valley by examining the many types of stone tools they have left behind. This multipart program will include a discussion of the Hopewell Museum's American Indian Collection, a demonstration of Native American tool-making by a nationally known expert, and our “Arrowhead Roadshow” where you can bring your personal artifacts for identification by experts! All parts of this program are suitable older children ages 9 and up as well as adults.

During the 3:15 to 4:00 pm portion of this program, join us at the Hopewell Museum for “The Arrowhead Roadshow.” Help the Museum with its research! Do you have any American Indian artifacts and tools in your personal collection? Our archeological experts will identify them for you! If you are willing and able to share the locations where the artifacts were found, you can further add to our research and knowledge of American Indian life in the Hopewell Valley. A few things to note about this part of the program:

• It is Hopewell Museum policy not to provide cash evaluations of artifacts

• While the Hopewell Museum welcomes new donations that meet our collections policies, donation is in no way a requirement for this free identification service!
