Koster Site Tours
For over 10,000 years humans have continuously
called the Illinois River Valley home. With the fertile land and diverse
resources there was no reason to migrate elsewhere. The Center for American
Archeology works to preserve this heritage, train future archeologists and
educate the public.
Archeology Day is a full day of archaeological site tours, excavation
demonstrations, informative displays, and lectures on the
cultural occupation of Native Americans in the Illinois River Valley. Hands-on pre-historic
technologies that include pottery making, basket weaving, and making dream
catchers make this a
fun and educational event for all ages and interest levels.
