Patrick Henry's Red Hill

Since 2023, Red Hill's archaeology program has been exploring how the plantation changed over time and what life was like for those who lived here. Opportunities to help with Red Hill's archaeological work are open to anyone interested. During the summer, volunteers will help with excavation, while in the winter, they’ll assist with artifact processing. Equipment and guidance from archaeologists will be provided. Whether you come dig with us for a single day or volunteer on a weekly basis, you’ll have the chance to engage hands-on with history and help uncover more of Red Hill’s story.

Summer field work at the Kitchen site will begin in June 2026. Please see Red Hill's archaeology webpage for more information: www.redhill.org/archaeology.
