There are always occasional surprises when operating a museum as was the case yesterday.

Three doors that were missing from Sandusky, and thought to be lost, were found and returned to us! We will be studying these doors closely to evaluate the best course of action.

Meet two of the fine folks who run the archaeology lab at Historic Sandusky.
Jess and Eric also mentor and supervise our University of Lynchburg archaeology students working at Sandusky.
And just a few years ago Eric was one of our UL archaeology students!
Congratulations!
