Well known amateur archeologist Dr. Greg Sohrweide spent many
hours at the museum during 2008 documenting the Virkler
Collection of Native American artifacts that was donated to the
museum by Joseph Virkler. These photos show Dr. Sohrweide at
work with his camera and measuring apparatus with Joe Virkler
assisting with maintaining the order and sequence of the
project.
The elements in this extensive collection were all found by Joe
during his years on the family's Canton Street Road farm. The
variety of tools and arrow points covers a span of more than
4,000 years. Upon its completion a copy of Dr. Sohrweide's study
will be available at the museum archives.
