Tammie L. Gerke, teaching professor in Geology at Miami University, will share the geology, archaeology, history, and other interesting information as we trek across the U.S. Talks will include visits to the southwest, upstate New York, and the midwest as we look at the new Ohio UNESCO sites. Get your questions answered and participate in a lively discussion on these national treasures.

So, if you love history, this talk is for you! This presentation will deviate away from geology and focus on the colonial and revolutionary war history of the Champlain Valley in New York. We will learn about the struggles between the French and British for control of this valley, with the British ultimately losing control of this area during the Revolutionary War in 1775.
