Dr. Greg Waselkov, Director and Professor of The Center for Archaelogical Studies at the University of South Alabama, will discuss current efforts to produce detailed documentation of the Old Federal Road’s actual path through Alabama, as it ran between Milledgeville, Georgia, and Fort Stoddert, Mississippi Territory. This project is using survey plats, surveyor notes, correspondence, historical documents, and travelers’ accounts, plus GIS mapping, to overlay old maps, locate the original road, and meet and document the people who lived along the path. Members and guests are welcome to attend. Refreshments will be available at 9:45. Meeting begins at 10:00. Contact: Charlotte Schipman, 850-477-7166, cschipman@mac.com <http://cschipman@mac.com/>
