What beautiful weather to close out 4 amazing “Public Dig Days” hosted by the Gloucester County Department of Parks & Recreation. Members of the (Gloucester County) Chapter of ASNJ had another productive day unearthing artifacts from historic Fort Mercer in National Park, N.J. In addition to our club members, we are thankful to the many local Archeologists who volunteered their time and knowledge to assist in this public history event!
