This Week's Meeting location

Mississippi Valley Archeological Center 

on the UWL campus (see map below)

breakfast will be bagels, rolls, muffins, coffee and juice)

The mission of the Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center is to provide education about the science of archaeology and the ancient cultures of the upper Mississippi River Valley to the general public, educators, undergraduate students, and precollegiate students; to conduct research and exploration of archaeological sites and artifacts; to preserve archaeological artifacts of ancient cultures which flourished within the upper Mississippi Valley; and to provide a regional center to promote an understanding of the prior inhabitants of this region.

The MVAC is located #11 in the bottom right corner. There is no immediate parking adjacent to the building. Most of the college students have left for the summer, so there is free 1-hour parking along Campbell Road and additional 2-hour free parking along Vine Street. Parking would also be available in lots C-1, C-2, and C-9, although your members would have to download and pay for parking through a parking app.
