cultures
Six-year-old Cheyenne Tanner of
Hockessin stared at the paper in her
hand with an expression that seemed
serious, considering her face was
painted like a monkey.
"Wow," she
said. "I'm a junior archaeologist."
Her
certificate represented a day of fun and
learning at the Iron Hill Museum's 10th
annual Archaeology Festival, and a great
day out with "Gaga." |

Those who
braved the rain were treated to a

for History Archaeology Festival at Iron
Hill Museum. |

Camp Scientists
How do we know what happened at Iron
Hill when the American Indians lived
there if they couldn't write it down?

Have You
Tried...Getting a lesson in natural
history
Iron Hill
Museum programs cater to kids.
Maybe you know a kid who still
harbors visions of sugar-plums. But just
in case you know one who'd rather
dissect owl pellets, have I got the
place for you. |
