Beautiful Hanley Farm
WINE, CHEESE AND DIRT: Get the dirt on our oldest history
The Southern Oregon Historical Society is presenting a fascinating evening on the latest archaeological research relating to pivotal moments in the Rogue Indian Wars. The event will be held on July 16, 2011, from 4-7pm at Hanley Farm.
Speakers include Drs. Paul Baxter and Brian O’Neill, archaeologists at the University of Oregon, who will discuss their discovery of the site of the Harris Cabin, the location of the infamous Harris Cabin massacre, which is considered the trigger point of the Rogue Indian Wars. Drs. Baxter and O’Neill will discuss the history of the site and the archaeological research of their most recent excavation.
Dr. Mark Tveskov, Director of the Southern Oregon University Laboratory of Anthropology, will present his Search for the Battle of Hungry Hill, a key battle during the Wars. This spring Tveskov and his team of archaeologists and students headed to the hills of Josephine County in search of this illusive battle site. New evidence has provided clues as to the location of this battle, which has remained hidden for a century and a half. Tveskov will discuss the history, methodology, and findings of SOUs latest expedition.
The event will be moderated by archaeologist Chelsea Rose who will provide background on the relationship between the Harris and Hanley families, and discuss archaeological research that has taken place at Hanley Farm.
Admission is $25.00 per person or $20.00 for SOHS members, which includes refreshments provided by the Mustard Seed Café and wines by RoxyAnn Winery and Caprice Vineyards.
