Digging The Brown Homestead
Season 3, Episode 4
Our thanks to the Niagara Community Foundation for supporting the 2023 archaeological assessment through a David S. Howes Fund Grant.
The Brown Homestead is one of the oldest Loyalist homes in Ontario. Navigating the known and unknown about its early history is an exploration of our heritage. We recently undertook an archaeological survey to add to our understanding of this important historic site. In this episode, supervising archaeologist Dr. John Triggs joins us to talk about the value of what is found and not found, and to reveal some of the stories we uncovered.
