Crossroads unearthing 19th-century structure tied to the canal

An archaeological dig began this week on the grounds of Crossroads at Big Creek, which could yield a glimpse into the life of the workers who built the Sturgeon Bay Canal. Program Director and Naturalist Coggin Heeringa says that Crossroads has already dated the building to the 1870s, but needs outside help to confirm that it is indeed the boardinghouse for the crew.

 


Heeringa has been recently shifted to Program Director at the organization and says the hustle and bustle of a dig is a nice departure from the quiet Learning Center. An average May would see at least 80 programs happen at Crossroads, all canceled or moved online this year due to COVID-19. The trails remain open.
