Learn about pre-European contact Native history in Haverhill and Thera Luce, Frederick’s wife, who was also an amateur archaeologist. The program will showcase artifacts such as lithics, steatite bowl fragments and ceramic fragments that span the ancient occupational periods. Museum interpreters will describe their uses and talk about the people who made and used them in their daily lives along the Merrimack River.
