History Beneath the Airport
Chicago/Rockford International Airport
May 2009-March 2013
In February 2009 ISAS was contacted by Rockford Airport authorities about creating an archaeological exhibit in the main terminal building. In conceptualizing the exhibit ISAS wanted to highlight the archaeological excavations done during the expansion of the airport in the mid 1990s.
The Shumway homesite, located at the Valhall site (11WO354), was selected as the focus of the exhibit due to the wealth of information it contained about life in the early days of Winnebago County.
The exhibit featured a background image of the Rock River with images of artifacts from the Shumway site in the foreground. Artifacts used in the poster are were displayed in the exhibit case.
