Digging for Good with Essex Library & Essex Historical Society

Hills Academy 22 Prospect Street, Essex

Program for kids and teens ages 10-18. 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 Hills Academy's grounds, using metal detectors to find buried objects. Digging for Good will provide metal detecting tools to find objects embedded in front lawn of 1832 Hill's Academy: a school that operated for at least 80 years. 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. Click here to register. Questions? Contact Outreach Coordinator, Kate Savage
