Next Meeting: May 14, 7:00pm
Fort Bend Museum Exhibit Gallery 410 South 5th Street, Richmond, Tx 77469 Speaker: Archeologist Nicholas Bourgeois Topic: Recent Archeological Investigations at Varner-Hogg Plantation State Historic Site Have you missed getting together for our archeology presentations? It’s been several months since we had an in-person meeting and it’s time to get back together. Our goal is to have several meetings in person this year. We’re currently searching for new speakers and have one lined up for May. Archeologist Nicholas Bourgeois will give us a presentation on the most recent archeological work which took place on the grounds of the Varner-Hogg State Historic Site. The meeting and his presentation will be held at the Fort Bend Museum just as we have done in the past. |
Nicholas Bourgeois grew up moving around the country, but his family eventually settled down in Baytown, Texas. After studying anthropology at Louisiana State University, Nicholas moved to California where he received a master's degree in World Cultures from the University of California, Merced and spent several summers studying Maya cave archeology in Belize, C.A.
He returned home to Texas and spent several years as a CRM archeologist before joining the Texas Historical Commission as the site archeologist for the Varner-Hogg Plantation State Historic Site, Levi Jordan Plantation State Historic Site, and Sabine Pass State Historic Site.
All are welcome - the program is free and open to the public.
