Digging for Good with Essex Historical Society (Ages 8-18)

Program for kids and teens ages 8-18.

Essex Library Association and Essex Historical Society invite children and young adults, with their parents, to join the team from Digging for Good in Haddam, CT to ‘dig’ on Pratt House’s grounds, using metal detectors to find buried objects.

Digging for Good will provide metal detecting tools to find objects embedded in Pratt’s two-acre field, which was once part of a farm dating from 1701. Anything found will be donated to Essex Historical Society, and may later be placed on exhibit.

Digging for Good members will record a video, as well as take photos of the interesting finds.
Please dress for the outdoors and wear sturdy shoes and sunscreen, as needed.

Essex Library programs are free and open to the public.
Registration is required.
