Hi, folks.
Just another reminder that our next Work Day at the Sutter-Meyer Farmhouse in
University City, Missouri, will be this Saturday, September 1. The weather
forecast is calling for more tolerable work conditions than we've been
experiencing recently, so we'll start at 8am and work until about 2pm. If you'd
like to volunteer at least a couple hours of your time, please reply to this
e-mail or call (314) 704-3507.
Our work this particular Saturday won't be just archaeological; the BIG
Sutter-Meyer Open House is set for Sunday, September 16, from 10am until 4pm (we
need volunteers for that, too, by the way), so we'll spend part of our time
sprucing up the excavation units and trying to get everything tidied up so that
we don't have as much to do the morning of the Open House.
Working with us this Saturday will be members of the Sutter-Meyer Society, who
are the primary sponsors of the Open House, along with the City of University
City. The Sutter-Meyer Farmhouse was built circa 1873 and is the oldest standing
house in University City. It's located 6826 Chamberlain Ct, just one block north
and one block west of the intersection of Olive and Ferguson. The Mound City
Archaeological Society is pleased to support the community's efforts to protect
and preserve this important piece of University City's history.
For more information, or to volunteer for either this Saturday's work day, or
the Open House on September 16, please call (314) 704-3507 or
