Terry Crannel
“Romancing the Stone” will be centered on the evolution of searching for Native American artifacts from the 1960’s to the present. Topics will include factors that have affected artifact hunting from farming practices to regulations and laws concerning collecting. This will be about one man’s experiences and obsession throughout his life, some of the adventures and artifacts found, and the hurdles that today’s collectors go through. Crannel says, “It’s been a passionate and unforgettable journey throughout my life’s adventures.”
Terry was one of the founding members of South Dorchester Folk Museum over 20 years ago along with Pat Neild, Dave Robbins, and Tom Flowers, as well as past president. He has been curator of Dorchester County Historical Society’s Native American department for 16 years, spearheading at least 15 yearly artifact exhibits and many other programs and talks, some as far away as Columbus, Ohio.
