Lecture: Dendrochronology and the Rocky Mount Mystery — Dating the Building

How do we know the Rocky Mount main house dates to the 1820s rather than the 1770s? This lecture explores the dendrochronology study that dated the building's timbers to 1826-28, the archaeological evidence from the site, and what it all tells us about the difference between the farm's history and the building's history. A fascinating look at how science and history work together.
