Investigating a possible historic smokehouse near Clarksburg, Indiana County
Featured Project
The Fox Gap Archaeological Project, funded through a grant from Preservation Maryland and co-sponsored by the National Park Service, The Appalachian Trail Conference, the Central Maryland Heritage League, and Indiana University of Pennsylvania Archaeological Services has two important goals. In part, it’s intended to gather enough information about the above and below ground historic and prehistoric resources of the Fox Gap area, particularly in the area of the Wise Farm, to produce a plan for their future management. The project is also intended to help train Appalachian Trail volunteers and ATC and NPS Trail Project Office staff in the rudiments of identifying, monitoring and caring for the buried past; skills they can employ from Maine to Georgia to make better resource management decisions. The Fox Gap project combines a fabulous archaeological and historic resource in a beautiful setting with a management philosophy and project mission that’s unique in the entire National Park System.
