 he FOL Lecture Series:</h2>\n<p><strong>A Walk Back in Time: The Secrets o
 f Cellar Holes</strong></p>\n<p><strong>April 19th at 6:00pm</strong></p>\
 n<p>Northern New England is full of reminders of past lives: stone walls\,
  old foundations\, a century-old lilac struggling to survive as the forest
  reclaims a once-sunny dooryard. What forces shaped settlement\, and later
  abandonment\, of these places? Adair Mulligan explores the rich story to 
 be discovered in what remains behind. See how one town has set out to crea
 te an inventory of its cellar holes\, piecing together the clues in the la
 ndscape. Such a project can help landowners know what to do if they have a
 rchaeological sites on their land and help stimulate interest in a town's 
 future through its past.</p>\n<p><strong>Presenter: Adair Mulligan</strong
