Experience the Lawson Site in Augmented Reality!
This unique experience is funded by the Miggsie Fund of the Lawson Foundation. The app virtually recreates the ancient Indigenous village as you explore how archaeology has helped us learn about what life was like in this region 500 years ago.
We recommend those interested in this experience download the app and adventure prior to their visit to the Museum. You can download the Engage ARt app on your mobile device from the Apple Store or the Google Play Store.
