SUMMARY:Explore & Learn! The Nature of Aquatic Invasive Species
DESCRIPTION:What are invasive species? How did they find their way into our waters and onto our shores? What can we do about them? And why does this conversation matter? \n\n\n\nIn the Lake Champlain Basin\, the number of invasive species have been growing ever since the colonizing organisms made their way to the region. From crowding out native species to decreasing nutrient resources in the waterways\, come learn about the effect of invasive species in our basin. \n\n\n\nJoin us in the Roost and you will have a chance to take a deeper dive into the basics of invasive species: Which invasives are present in Lake Champlain today\, how they became so invasive\, and why reducing their presence is top of mind for lovers of our lake and of biodiversity. Come ready to ask questions and get to the bottom of how invasive species influence our lake!

SUMMARY:Lois McClure Open Hours
DESCRIPTION:Families on canal boats similar to the Lois McClure would spend the majority of their year on the water\, and now you can get a sense of what canal boat life would be like too! Climb on board this replica of a 1862-class sailing canal boat to learn about the lives and culture of canal boaters\, through artifacts collected from two real 19th century canal boat wrecks. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: The path down to the waterfront is gravelly and steep\, and there is a steep ramp leading up to the Lois McClure. If you are interested in only browsing the artifacts from the two shipwrecks\, contact museumeducator@lcmm.org to set up time for a Lois McClure Collections showing in the wheelchair-accessible Visitor Center.

SUMMARY:Birding & Boating
DESCRIPTION:Join us on ­­­­canoes for a 2-hour program of paddling and exploring the birds of Otter Creek. This family-friendly program welcomes everyone from beginners to experts! Smaller children can take a middle seat at the bottom of the boat\, where they will just go along for the ride\, no paddling required. Learn tips and tricks for paddling on the water\, or just come to explore the birds of Lake Champlain Basin. \n\n\n\nBe sure to bring clothing that can get wet as well as water to stay hydrated. Bring your own pair of binoculars\, we will have a couple pairs to pass around\, but not enough for everyone. We will provide canoes\, paddles and personal flotation devises (PFDs). We also recommend you bring a hat and sunscreen to stay protected from the sun. This program is weather-dependent and we will communicate cancellations the morning of the scheduled outing.  \n\n\n\nAccessibility: The boats are stable but wobbly\, so a good sense of bodily balance is helpful. The boats are stationed at the waterfront\, a moderately steep gravel path that leads to an ADA accessible dock located in North Harbor.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:ROV Shipwreck Tour
DESCRIPTION:Explore a shipwreck… without getting wet! There are hundreds of historic shipwrecks in Lake Champlain. Join us as we take a tour boat to the site of the Champlain II shipwreck and go for a “dive” using an underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). Our robotic camera sends back real-time video to an on-board monitor as we share the vessel’s dramatic story. Don’t miss this incredible experience- for all ages! \n\n\n\nWe will gather on the Museum green at 10:00 and proceed to Basin Harbor as a group at 10:10 to begin the tour\, which will run from 10:30 to noon. The walk to Basin Harbor is approximately a half-mile on pavement\, and visitors are welcome to drive if needed. For accessibility requests and information please contact us by email at info@lcmm.org or by phone at 802-475-2022. \n\n\n\nTickets are $25 for kids and $40 for adults. \n\n\n\nPlease note that due to recent historic rainfall and flooding in the region\, the lake level has been higher than average. The lake is perfectly safe to enjoy by boat\, but higher water levels create conditions in which our small ROV may not be able to dive. No matter the lake level\, you will still be able to go on a boat tour\, see shipwreck footage\, and hear exciting stories! \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now!

SUMMARY:Lois McClure Open Hours
DESCRIPTION:Families on canal boats similar to the Lois McClure would spend the majority of their year on the water\, and now you can get a sense of what canal boat life would be like too! Climb on board this replica of a 1862-class sailing canal boat to learn about the lives and culture of canal boaters\, through artifacts collected from two real 19th century canal boat wrecks. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: The path down to the waterfront is gravelly and steep\, and there is a steep ramp leading up to the Lois McClure. If you are interested in only browsing the artifacts from the two shipwrecks\, contact museumeducator@lcmm.org to set up time for a Lois McClure Collections showing in the wheelchair-accessible Visitor Center.

SUMMARY:Virtual Archaeology Conference
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the third annual Virtual Archaeology Conference! Each year\, researchers and archaeologists with Lake Champlain Maritime Museum come together to share new research\, developments\, and discoveries from their work in Lake Champlain in this virtual summit that is open and free for all to attend. \n\n\n\nIn 2024\, our team will explore big questions through the lens of our ongoing archaeological work in Arnold’s Bay such as: how do archaeologists make the call on what to conserve and what not to conserve? What happened to Benedict Arnold’s 1776 flagship\, the row galley Congress\, after its abandonment? What can we learn from artifacts that were excavated by past archaeologists compared to those taken for salvage or as keepsakes by people of the past? What can the hull of the Congress tell us about the construction of the colonial naval fleet on Lake Champlain and specifically row galleys? \n\n\n\nThe full schedule and list of presenters are detailed below.  \n\n\n\nThis virtual conference will be presented on Zoom webinars and is free to attend. Please register in advance to receive the direct conference link by using the “Register Now” button. For accessibility requests please contact us by email at info@lcmm.org or by phone at 802-475-2022.  \n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\nVirtual Archaeology Conference 2024: Presentations & Speakers\n\n\n\nWelcome and IntroductionChris Sabick\, Executive Director\, Lake Champlain Maritime Museum \n\n\n\nLegacy Collection: Leege Collection Artifacts from Arnold’s BayPatricia Reid\, Development Assistant and Collections Manager\, Lake Champlain Maritime MuseumIn the 1960s\, a group of avocational archaeologists under William Leege conducted an excavation of the starboard side of a portion of the row galley Congress. The artifact collection recovered during these excavations was donated to the Maritime Museum in 1997 and is managed by the Museum under its repository collections agreement with the United States Navy. This presentation will discuss the methodology of the 1960s excavation and its impact on our current archaeological work. It will also cover the recent reorganization process of its artifact collection conducted at the Museum in 2023.  \n\n\n\nArnold’s Bay Artifacts: Conservation and ContextCherilyn Gilligan\, Assistant Director of Archaeology\, Lake Champlain Maritime MuseumIn the world of archaeology\, context is everything. Artifacts lose significance without details of their surrounding matrix in-situ and less can be learned overall about the past by objects separated from their archaeological context. This presentation examines the artifacts of the Arnold’s Bay Project and beyond and discusses how the context of these objects helps us to interpret the overall site. In addition to site interpretations\, we will look at the conservation needs of this archaeological collection\, discuss the nature of archaeological sampling\, and learn about conservation processes for different types of materials. \n\n\n\nThe Excavation and Documentation of the Revolutionary War Row Galley CongressChris Sabick\, Executive Director\, Lake Champlain Maritime MuseumIn the fall of 2022 archaeologists from the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum began the exploration of the abandonment site of the flag ship of the colonial naval fleet on Lake Champlain in 1776\, the Row Galley Congress. Test excavations in 2022 revealed that substantially more of the wreck was present at the site than previously suspected. Excavation and documentation of the hull remains continued through the summer of 2023 and this presentation will present the initial findings of the project and discuss the design and construction of this poorly understood vessel class.  \n\n\n\nSite Formation Processes: Defining the Theoretical Process of Archaeology for the Revolutionary Warship CongressPaul Gates\, Lab and Project Manager\, Lake Champlain Maritime MuseumThe archaeological remains of the Revolutionary Warship Congress provide an interesting case study of the theoretical principles of Site Formation Processes in the exploration of how the vessel has changed over time since its construction as a warship to the current management of the vessel and the surrounding archaeological site. Site formation processes are defined as the “processes of human behavior that affect or transform artifacts after their initial period of use in a given activity.” This process preserves artifacts in the systemic context to create the historic record through reuse\, the archaeological record through the deposition of artifacts\, and any consequent cultural alterations of material in both records. This presentation will inform our audience on the history and use-life of Congress and how it fits into the overall theoretical framework of Site Formation Processes.  \n\n\n\nLive Q&A with Lake Champlain Maritime Museum’s Archaeology TeamPatricia Reid\, Cherilyn Gilligan\, Chris Sabick\, and Paul Gates \n\n\n\nRegister Now
