Join us for one or all free talks in this series! In anticipation of America's 250th anniversary, we invite you to join us for talks that examine our country's road to revolution and then independence. Presentations will be hosted by the Environmental Archaeology Lab and take place in person in SERC's 1735 Woodlawn History Center. Come for the talk and stay for the exhibits in this historic home. 

This is a family-friendly event. Anyone 12 years and older is welcome to attend, whether you are passionate about archaeology or just looking to learn something new! We ask that all minors (anyone under the age of 18) be accompanied by an adult. 

Registration is required. By registering, you help us prepare the space. If you need to cancel your registration, no worries! You can cancel your registration yourself or email SERC staff (SERCOutreach@si.edu) to cancel your registration. 

The space is set-up with 35 foldable chairs, benches, and some standing space as well. Register today on Signup Genius
