Miller, the Historic Saint Mary's City (HSMC) director of research.

The walking tour of Historic St. Mary's City, a museum of history an archaeology on the site of Maryland's first capital, will be led by Dr. Miller who has dedicated his career to studying the colonial Chesapeake, and is widely considered a leading authority.  You'll discover how historians and archaeologists reconstruct the past from scant evidence, get the inside scoop on excavations at one of the finest colonial archeology sites in the nation, and visit the archaeology lag for a tour with authorities.  Tour will last approximately 3 hours, leaving you time to explore other museum and archeology sites on your own.
