Blue Hills Reservation

Your rivers guard our ancient names. Your mountains are our monuments. (Lincoln Newton Kinnicutt, 1905)

Ellen P. Berkland, M.A., R.P.A., has been a practicing professional archaeologist in New England for over 30 years.  Before joining the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) as staff archaeologist, Ellen served as the Boston City Archaeologist for 15 years, and prior to that tenure, worked on almost all of the Big Dig archaeological campaigns. Ellen helps the public understand the rich history of people who lived before us.  She helps protect evidence of these people – and other cultural resources – that lie buried beneath half a million acres of land in the Commonwealth.

Enjoy delicious hors d’oeuvres, cash bar, silent auction and much more! Tickets are $35 each if purchased by October 1 and $40 each at the door.
