Have you ever wondered how an arrowhead was made? This is your chance! Join Veronica Mraz, Lithic Specialist, as she gives a brief overview of 12,000 years of human occupation in the Des Moines valley. Beginning with the end of the last ice age to first contact with Euro-Americans, Veronica will share about variety of human activity along the Des Moines River. Veronica will also cover the quarrying, manufacture, and use of chipped stone tools with a demonstration of flint knapping. This program will be held at the Beach house Lodge in Lacey-Keosauqua State Park.
