ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS AT THE MONT BLANC SITE

The Former Home of John Marshall, Jr.

On a rolling ridgetop in the Piedmont physiographic province of northern Fauquier County, Virginia, something unusual is happening. During the spring and fall of the last two years, hundreds of sixth and seventh grade students, along with teachers and adult chaperones, have converged on the Mont Blanc site to solve an old mystery.

The answers can be found in this rich Virginia soil, and as each student learns the proper archaeological excavation techniques from experts, the past comes alive.

The Fauquier Heritage and Preservation Foundation, Inc. and the Collins Family Foundation sponsor these schools, which are conducted by Cultural Resources, Inc. (CRI) Fredricksburg, Virginia.
