Colonial Pemaquid State Historic Site in New Harbor is hosting a Kids’ Dig on Saturday, Aug. 5. Visitors are invited to become a history detective and experience archaeology first hand.

Each participant will unearth mysterious replica ceramic artifacts, assemble the findings, and then determine their use and history while learning the skills of an archaeologist. A photograph of each participant with the completed found object will be provided as a souvenir.

Drop in between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 5 at Colonial Pemaquid’s Fort William Henry, 2 Colonial Pemaquid Drive, New Harbor. The program is free and designed for youth ages 5 to 12 years old, but all ages are welcome. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
