The Arizona Museum of Natural History will host a March 8 event for home-schooled children at the Mesa Grande ruins. The program will feature the archaeology of the Mesa Grande ruins built by the Hohokam, who lived in the Valley from about 1 A.D. to 1450 A.D. Participants will visit the ruins, and meet archaeologists while learning how to work on an active archaeological site. The program is designed for multiple learning levels with a range of hands-on activities. It is scheduled from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. March 8.
The cost is $2 for museum members and $6 for non-members. Pre-registration is required and can be arranged by calling (480) 644-3553 or by sending an email to alice.jung@mesaaz.gov. For more information about the museum, visit http://www.azmnh.org.
