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

Monday, June 15, 2015 - 1:00pm to 3:00pm

This presentation outlines the results of an archaeological research project conducted during the past 3 years by John Bansch, Coordinator of Archaeology 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 digging test pits at various locations near the Corbit mansion. Following the lecture, an optional walking tour of the possible tannery locations (pending weather and site conditions) will be available.
