Museum officials announced they will be doing an Archaeology Survey Project. Volunteers and interns will get the chance to help three trained state archaeologists with the project.
The survey will examine the field area at the Milwaukee Railroad Shops for evidence of remains from the construction labor camps dating back from 1916 to 1918.
Executive Director Matt Merk said the survey will also help the museum grow its collection of data and information on the backstory of the former steam locomotive and car repair shops terminal.
