Join us to hear Tom Hobbs speak about his archeological work at an early home site on the 1672 land grant Mahixon, known today as Summer Hill Farm. Artifacts that he has donated to the Society will be on display for the first time.
Tom began his archaeology work at sites in Colonial Williamsburg under Ivor Noel Hume and later at Carter's Grove under William Kelso. He was on the team at Flowerdew Hundred under "Lefty" Gregory and the College of William & Mary. Tom taught Virginia and U. S. History as well as archaeology in Richmond and Hanover for thirty years. During that time, he led student groups to excavate two early home sites in Hanover: Mahixon and Broaddus Flats. |
