One of the descendants of New Hampshire slave owners has contributed to a grave marker for a man his family owned in the 1700's. We'll talk with Stratham historian Vicki Avery about how she connected with the Brackett farm and about the lives of slaves and former slaves who once lived in New Hampshire. We'll also talk with Kathy Wheeler of Independent Archaeological Consulting about her work at the Brackett Farm site and the new technologies being used in historical digs.
