These pictures are from the 2006 MAS Fall Workshop sponsored by the Upper Grand Valley Chapter. The event was held at the Nokomis Center in Okemos. Those who attended were able also to tour the Meridian Historical Village, which is adjacent.

Speakers were Dan Goatley presenting “Archaeology in the Classroom,” (pictured above) and Heather Mustonen who explained conservation practices focusing on the MSU Saint's Rest project. The attendees also heard a presentation on the Historical Village and were able to tour the Perkins-Copland Log Cabin as it was being reconstructed.
