Description: Our January guest speaker is Sara Ayers-Rigsby, MA, RPA, Director of the Florida Public Archaeology Network’s Southeast/Southwest Regions, who will explore former top secret sites associated with the Cold War that were located in the Everglades and throughout South Florida. These overgrown, forgotten sites served as the front lines during this fascinating period, when “quiet residential neighborhoods were havens for undercover operatives while the swamps and forests served as training grounds.” Learn about Cold War era sites in Miami and participate in a discussion about Cold War archaeology!
