With a focus on archaeology, the site will be reopened not just to inform people who want to learn about the history of Texas, but also to provide opportunities for those who want to get in the mix and take to the field.
To help pull back the curtain, the visitor center of the site is set up to allow people a clear view of the archeologists, lab technicians and historians as they clean and catalogue artifacts.“It’s going to be a completely open facility,” Elliott said. “We’re going to be hosting workshops in there, and the great thing about this is it’s designed so it’s not just a local facility. We have two transit vans that we can use to shuttle people from Houston Hobby in. It has eight full bedrooms and ensuites,” Elliott said. “We want our program to be a national program.”
Family photos and the family tree of the Mack family along with a Bible owned by Charles Phillip McNeill, grandson of Levi Jordan, are on display at the Levi Jordan Plantation State Historic Site in Brazoria.“We have Southwest Airlines that’s looking at being a sponsor to be able to fly the teachers in at real low cost. The reason why we decided to do the bedrooms is to drive that cost of that program down, to get more people involved with it,” Elliott said.
