Our Research

The Historical Society of Saginaw County is engaged in ongoing efforts to document, analyze and record archaeological materials held in our collection and in private collections. Our archaeologist and team of volunteers conduct field surveys designed to find and document archaeological sites and to conduct archaeological excavations to learn more information about the former occupants of the Saginaw Valley. Our fieldwork currently focuses on the archaeology of the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge, located near the center of the Saginaw Valley.
