Upcoming Fall Archaeology Events
Marcus Hook Pirate Festival
When: Saturday, September 20th, 11am-6pm (Plank House 11am-5pm)
Where: 7 Delaware Ave, Marcus Hook, PA
This Saturday, September 20th, is the 6th annual Marcus Hook Pirate Festival. Hosted by the Marcus Hook Preservation Society, the event boasts a full pirate encampment, live pirate music, a beer garden, food, and games. Of course there will be some archaeology too! Since 2005, archaeologists have conducted research at the circa 1730s Marcus Hook Plank House. A brief history of the house is available here. During the festival on Saturday, archaeologists (including myself) will be at the Plank House from 11am to 5pm to clean
up the site, continue excavation, and greet visitors as they tour the
house. The festival itself will be located in a municipal park right on the Delaware River and the Plank House is just a short walk down Market Street. Tours of the Plank House will be available for a $1 donation. All funds raised by
event go towards restoring the Plank Log House.
