Rain Day and Museum Trips

We had lots of rain today which prevented us from digging. Instead, we visited the Little League Museum in the morning and the Williamsport Historical Society and the Taber Museum afterwards.

The Little League Museum was a brand new facility with many interactive exhibits as well as an audio guide to the museum. The exhibits were thoroughly explained and well presented to the visitors. 

The Taber Museum and the Williamsport Historical Society was not as interactive or new, but it still was very informative and interesting. The museum covered the area's prehistory and history with many artifacts from every time period in the area. The Taber Museum also housed the Genealogy Society which we visited and learned about what they did and how they worked.

We ended the day by visiting the archeology lab in the basement of the Taber Museum where we got to see the finished products of other local archeology digs.
