Rouse Simmons Day *Saturday* in Two Rivers

[ethanb]

Tomorrow, this Saturday (11/18), there is an event in Two Rivers, WI, honoring the 94th anniversary of the sinking of the "Christmas Tree Ship".  At 1 PM, Keith Meverden and Tamara Thomsen from the State Historical Society is giving a presentation of the findings of the archaeological survey we did this summer.  They're sure to have lots of cool photos and interesting stories.  From 2-4 PM, there will be an open house at the Rogers Street Fishing Village museum, which has a collection of Rouse Simmons Artifacts.

Here's an article about the event in the Milwaukee paper:
