You are invited to attend an interesting event hosted by the Williston Historical Society!

Saturday January 27 at 10:30 AM at the Dorothy Alling Memorial Library
Vermont State Archaeologist Jess Robinson will speak about stone tools found in Williston and recently donated to the Society. He will also talk about other archaeological digs in the Williston area.

Background:
The Williston Historical Society recently acquired some stone tools gifted to WHS by the Lynwood Osborne estate. Lynwood’s father discovered the tools years ago on the Talcott farm, near where the Williston golf course is now located. The Vermont State Archaeologist, Jess Robinson, has researched these tools and other archaeological digs in Williston.

Jess is originally from Burlington and now lives in Richmond with his wife and son. He has worked in Vermont as an archeologist in both regulatory and academic settings for over 15 years.
