Urban Archeology Corps

A partnership with National Park Service (NPS) and Groundwork Anacostia River DC (GWARDC), this pilot program gives five students the opportunity to take part in a paid, 10-week summer internship, during which they will research – through archeology, studying the cultural landscape of the community, traditional historical research, and oral history – Fort Mahan (an NPS site that is a local park as well as the site of one of Washington’s Civil War-era defenses) and the surrounding community.
