Exciting things are happening. Have you seen some strangers huddled or
digging around in
the back yard of the museum? Well, those people are from the
Cumberland Valley
Chapter 27 of the Society for Pennsylvania Archaeology, Inc.
The board invited
well-known, local archaeologist, Tim Rockwell, of Mercersburg, to walk the
grounds of the museum. He discovered a couple of 
old brick and stone walks that
have long since been grown over with grass. To where they led we aren't sure
yet. But Tim has given us some suggestions as to where some missing pieces of
history from former owners might be.
