People of American Indian, African, and European ancestry have been connected with Maryland’s Jesuit plantations throughout their history. Archaeological evidence of Indian missions in Maryland—however fragmented—contributes to a narrative of the Maryland missions that is at odds with prevailing nineteenth- and twentieth-century histories.

Join Dr. Laura Masur, Associate Professor of Archeology at the Catholic University of America, as she explores this often over-looked part of Maryland - and St Mary's County - history.

The event is free of charge. However, seating is limited and reservations are required.
