Native Americans in the Nipmuc Territory surrounding Webster and northeastern Connecticut left tangible artifacts, called lithic structures, and some can be found today in area fields and woods. Examples are cairns, chambers, anthropomorphic stone art and weirs.

Joe Iamartino, longtime president of the Thompson Historical Society, will present photographic and written evidence of the purpose of these historic structures in Class 5 of his presentation series. Learn about the latest finds and efforts to preserve these treasures.   

The talk will be given on Saturday, October 25, at 11 a.m. with an encore at 1 p.m. Each will last about one hour.

The lecture is free; to register, go www.samuelslaterexperience.org, email [email protected], or call 508-461-2955. Tours of the museum before or after the talk will be available at a reduced ticket price.
