SeeWorthy Archaeology Festival
Ben Brenman Park 4800 Brenman Park Drive, Alexandria, Virginia 22305
Celebrate Archaeology Month at Ben Brenman Park! Meet City archaeologists and learn more about why ship timbers excavated from the Robinson Landing construction site were submerged in Ben Brenman Pond this past spring. Archaeology enthusiasts of all ages will find out how wooden ships were reused in the 18th and 19th centuries as landfill with Shoreline Engineering, discover the physics behind moving large ship timbers with Mini Forklift Hydraulics, and meet other maritime and terrestrial archaeologists working in the region. This free event will kick off with a ribbon cutting of three new signs that tell the story of the ships’ journey from river to pond!
