Archaeology Projects

Discover the fascinating history of the Saginaw Valley through our dedicated archaeological repository, where we securely preserve and protect invaluable artifacts for future generations. Since 1983, thanks to a special partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, we are proud to be the only institution in the region officially entrusted with archaeological collections from the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge—keeping these important pieces accessible for research and public display.

 

We’re also passionate about sharing our discoveries, which is why we’ve created the engaging exhibit “Revealing Our Buried Past: Archaeology of the Saginaw Valley,” inviting visitors to explore the rich stories hidden beneath our feet.
