Digging For Good Youth Program: Hills Academy

Essex Historical Society and Essex Library Association invite children and young adults ages 10-18, with their guardians, to join the Digging for Good team from Haddam, CT to metal detect and ‘dig’ on Hills Academy’s historic grounds. Digging for Good will bring a number of metal detecting tools and lead the search to find metal objects buried in the front lawn of 1832 Hill's Academy: a former school that operated for at least 80 years. Anything found will be donated to Essex Historical Society, and may later be placed on exhibit. Digging for Good may take photos and videos of interesting finds for their You Tube channel.

​

This program is a partnership between EHS, Digging for Good, and Essex Library Association. We ask that all participants REGISTER with Essex Library so that we may contact participants in the case of inclement weather. Please dress for the outdoors and wear sturdy shoes and sunscreen, as needed.
