MAHS News
Bodkin Creek Project Completed
MAHS completed the Bodkin Creek project submitting a final report to the Maryland Historical Trust in April.
Thanks to the many MAHS volunteers for all the hours spent bringing the project to a successful conclusion.
Thanks also to the experts of Azulmar
Research.
We plan to return to the creek later this summer for further research on sites located during the remote sensing surveys last year.
MAHS members who have completed the field school are encouraged to
come out and help with the research. Contact Dave Shaw
or Jim Smailes for details.

Pamunkey River Project
White House Landing on the Pamunkey River in Virginia was for a time an important logistics base
for the Union Army in the spring of 1862.
Barges side by side were part of the water borne supply net to support General McClellans Peninsula Campaign
by way of the York River. MAHS is currently working on a project to investigate these barges or canal boats.
