In the fall of 2024, students formed seven separate groups to investigate different aspects of archaeological research and outreach related to the Women’s League Cabin. While the cabin was originally investigated in 2015, ARCN 246 students worked with local collaborators, including the Arb Director Nancy Braker, to dig deeper into the Women’s League Cabin’s history ahead of the Arb’s 100 year anniversary in 2026-2027.
