A costumed interpreter will give an introduction to the site and then an archaeologist will invite the visitors to see the dig site and what they have discovered.

Tour Length: 1 hour 

Changing Landscapes tour will visit the Mill Field, where evidence of both Native occupation and the St. Mary’s Fort has been documented. Through the tour, guests will gain a better understanding of how these two groups interacted with each other over the course of the 1600s.
