Archaeology Public Programming

Archaeology Public Programming & Outreach

At Monticello Department of Archaeology, we think that sharing what we know is one of the most important parts of our job. And the most fun! We host programs throughout the year, and we also participate as much as we can in local community events. You can also check out our digital and virtual resources. Details and links shared below!

  • We are always developing new activities and ways to learn about archaeology in the classroom or at home. Download our Education Resource Packet to try some of these yourself!
