MONTICELLO — The Badger State Archaeological Society will hold its 43rd Annual Native American Indian Artifact Show on Sunday, Oct. 23. The event will be held at the Rehmstedt Gym in Monticello School, 334 South Main Street, Monticello, WI from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Cost of admission is $2 for 14 years and older.

The show was started in Monroe with just five tables displayed by Ralph Hammerly, Paul Severson, and James Beer. The show has grown to over 80 tables of artifacts on display or for sale, including points, stone, bone, copper artifacts, prints, books, pottery, jewelry, rugs and a whole lot more. The show itself is a history lesson.

There will be experts on hand to identify artifacts. 

This year the 4th grade students at the Monticello Schools will be making Native villages. They will be made out of all natural materials. 

The Boy Scout Troop #106 will have a lunch stand. 

There will be awards for best of show, best personal find, judge’s choice, and best educational display.
