Germanna Archaeology Site in the News

July 30, 2015 By Steven Hein

Many of our 2015 reunion attendees had the opportunity to visit the Fort Germanna/ Enchanted Castle archaeological site during an open house with staff archaeologist Dr. Eric Larsen and special guest Dr. Bernard Means from Virginia Commonwealth University’s Virtual Curation Lab.  Orange County Review reporter Amber Galaviz covered the event.  Read her “Digging Germanna” article from the front page of the July 30th Orange County Review here.
