Community and Wesleyan Students Dig Up Local History

Fact #12. Tuesday, March 19

Wesleyan’s Professor Croucher and students, along with community members, have conducted research and practice on archaeological excavations in the Middletown area, such as the Beman Triangle (present-day corner of Cross and Vine streets) and the Magill Site (present-day corner of Union Street and deKoven Drive). You can access more info on the website.

The "Did You Know?" Campaign highlights partnerships, connections, and collaborations between Wesleyan and the greater Middletown community. Every Tuesday and Thursday we will post a fact and send it out to WesLive, Middletown Patch, Middletown Eye, Facebook, Twitter, and beyond.

This week's fact demonstrates the collaborative community effort to dig up local history around Middletown, at the Beman Triangle and Magill Site.
