Did you know that the Green Bay Packers held their training camps during the late 1940s at what is now Bay Shore County Park? Known as Rockwood Lodge, it was possibly the first self-contained team training facility in NFL history.

The program will include a presentation of the park’s history, followed by a hands-on demonstration using archaeological tools to locate the foundations of the former Rockwood Lodge that burned down in 1950.

This Parkaeology program will be co-presented by the Brown County Parks Department and Neville Public Museum staff.
