This month's topic will be "Digging into the Past: Archaeology and Oakland County Parks." It will be held from 7-8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 4 at the Ellis Barn in Springfield Oaks County Park. Archaeology in Oakland County Parks has included the excavation of a
roadside trash dump and an old farm trash pit as well as the search for the Ellis farm outhouse.
