Lecture: "New Archaeological Research for the Lost Corbit Tannery"

Saturday, May 2, 2015 - 12:30pm to 2:30pm

This presentation outlines the results of an archeological research project conducted during the past 3 years by John Bansch, Coordinator of Archeology Projects at Historic Odessa. In an effort to find the location of the lost Corbit Tannery and to understand what we do know about the actual tannery, John has reviewed all of the files in the current HOF Research Library and spent 3 years diggings test pits at various locations near the Corbit mansion.
