    1. [PACHESTE] Route 202 Blue Ball Barn and Farm (presentation)
    2. Good afternoon list, A friend of mine, Doreen HANNUM, who is a coordinator at the Senior Citizen Center in New Castle, DE asked me to post this invitation for the general public -- interested in history & genealogy: -------------------------- Hi Helen,    I have Richard WHITE, the field director of archaeological excavations at the old Jacob WELDIN Plantation, coming to the senior center to do a presentation on: Wednesday, March 14 at 12:45 PM.   The Jacob WELDIN farm and property was located at the corners of Routes 202 and Foulk Rd. Jacob WELDIN purchased the land in 1862 and converted the farmstead into a large-scale dairy operation.  This site is unique because of the existence of extensive about ground foundations.  As excavations progressed, a wide and impressive variety of architectural features were identified, as well as a rich artifact assemblage.    Richard will present a slide show and discussion about the excavations, architecture, and the artifacts.  It's free and all are invited. New Castle Senior Center 400 South Street New Castle, DE.  (302) 326-4209.   Could you send this to your list in case anyone is interested?  Thanks, I'd appreciated it.  I think it's something they might like since they like history.
