CAPE artifact wash days are returning and open to the public! In an extension of our popular volunteer lab nights, we will now host a variety of artifact wash days at the CAPE. Any volunteers are welcome; you may email fairfield@fairfieldfoundation.org to express interest, but registration is not required. Come visit our lab and try your hand at archaeological lab work, helping process artifacts from a variety of sites across the Middle Peninsula.
Volunteer Lab Nights have returned to the CAPE! Join us from 6-9 pm on the first and third Tuesdays of each month to help wash artifacts, learn about archaeology, and more!

This is a rare opportunity to try your hand at both archaeology and masonry preservation. AiP participants, known as jammers, will have a full week of activities, including instruction in excavation techniques, historic bricklaying techniques, and cutting edge 3-D technology. For more information, visit https://adventuresinpreservation.org/fairfield. A fee is required for all workshop participants, but visitors are welcome. Local residents interested in participating for a portion of the week may qualify for a reduced fee.

You can be among the first to help conserve the c. 1793 Timberneck farmhouse, where exhibits will feature the history of the property and the enduring stories of Virginia’s tribes. Learn traditional masonry and carpentry skills as you further the goals of the new Machicomoco State Park.
You also have the opportunity to learn hands-on archaeology skills at the nearby Fairfield plantation.
Come enjoy the best of both sites! A fee is required for all workshop participants. Register at https://adventuresinpreservation.org/fairfield3
