What started out as a weekend garden project turned into a discovery of objects spanning two centuries, by current homeowner of the Peter Thorp House, Maryclare Roos. And what began as an easy way to document her findings turned into a thriving Instagram account, @peterthorphouse, with over 31,000 followers from all over the world. The backyard archaeology is ongoing not only on the Peter Throp House property, but for local homeowners as well. During Mrs. Roos’s Hidden History discussion, learn about her ongoing discoveries, including Civil War-era artifacts and more.
