Interpretive Panels at Kingsley Plantation (NPS)

While Kingsley Plantation (NPS) site is closed to visitors during Covid-19, today I'm giving a talk on Archaeology at Kingsley Plantation and wanted to share two panels you would normally see as you enter the park as a visitor that talks briefly about those who lived at Kingsley Plantation, and some of the artifacts recovered by Dr. James Davidson's field schools in the early years that highlight the cultural origins of those who lived and worked on the plantation.

We encourage you to visit Kingsley in a myriad of virtual ways until the park re-opens when it is safe for all visitors.
