London was not listed among the designated sites. Losing its place in the international tobacco market, the town also lost its inhabitants, dwindling to a few houses and a ferry site by the end of the American Revolution. All that remains of the town above ground is the c. 1760 brick mansion of William Brown. Ongoing survey within the historical limits of the 100 acre town has led to the identification of six additional terrestrial sites, as well as a boat ramp of uncertain antiquity, and several clusters of oyster shell and bricks along the shoreline. Volunteers are welcome to work with us on both projects during the week and one Saturday per month.
Opportunities are available for fieldwork, laboratory work, and archival research.
