Get ready to roll up your sleeves for this fun hands-on activity to determine what clues to Monitor‘s history you might discover!

Kids of all ages are invited to participate in a STEM-based archeological dig using replicas of cannons found at USS Monitor‘s wreck site. Learn to build a tool to dig out the cannon’s concretion (also known as a thick, sandy build-up), and uncover what artifacts may be inside.
