"NORBECK KIDS" INVITES KIDS ON AN ARCHAELOGICAL TOUR

CUSTER, SD: SEPTEMBER 16, 2008

The Norbeck Kids are off on their next adventure! A Black Hills National Forest Service archaeologist will lead a guided tour of the Historic Flume Trail, located on the south side of Sheridan Lake, on October 11th starting at 10 am. All kids and parents are invited to join this free excursion as the Norbeck Kids explore the old tunnels and learn about the past, present and future of this once-useful mining tool, now a walking classroom. “The kids will discover what the flume was used for and why this path was chosen,” said Norbeck Kids director Steve Price. The excursion is open to kids of all ages.

News Media who wish to cover the event should show up at Calumet Trailhead at 10 a.m. where interviews will be provided by key participants.
