August is Archaeology Month at the Canadian Museum of History
The museum is going to have a special event on Saturday, August 29 at 2 p.m. on the Riverview Salon and Museum grounds.
The event is called Cultural Landscape: The Stories Beneath Our Feet in which archaeologist Jean-Luc Pilon will help you explore the cultural landscape of the north bank of the Ottawa River, from the Chaudière Falls to the mouth of the Gatineau River.
For thousands of years, this was an important place for First Peoples, and their stories continue to reverberate beneath our feet.
Admittance is Free with museum admission.
