The public is invited to see the finds Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center Public Field School participants have unearthed this summer. An open house featuring their excavation work and the artifacts they have uncovered will be from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Thursday, July 20, at Goose Island County Park, on the Mississippi River south of La Crosse.
Participants will be working at Hunters Point boat landing on the south end of Goose Island Campground.

Participants may also investigate a nearby historic Euro-American cabin/homestead site.
