Students in Professor David Davies’ Fall 2023 Museum Anthropology course (ANTH 3030 Topics in Sociocultural Anthropology) developed four exhibits exploring recent archaeological excavations at the 830 Simpson House site (1881–1945). The remains of the house are now located beneath the lawn east of Bush Library.
Student exhibits provide insights into the history of the Hamline campus and the social and cultural dimensions of archaeological investigations. The exhibit cases are located on the second floor of Bush Library near the Dean’s Office (Bush Library 201).
Students interested in participating in future excavation at the 830 Simpson House site should contact Professor Brian Hoffman (bhoffman@hamline.edu) for additional information.
