Forensic Anthropology Lab

You've just arrived at the lab where you work as a forensic anthropologist when you receive a call from the state police. Some hikers in the White Mountains have discovered bone scatters, unorganized fragments of remains. They've sent the bones undisturbed to your lab for analysis, where you will excavate the bones, determine whether or not they are human, catalogue them, and then see if you can make any other observations about the remains that could help the police determine who they might have belonged to.
Kids ages 7-12 are invited to join us to learn about what forensic anthropologists do and to use their deductive reasoning skills to see if they can solve this mystery in this fun, hands-on activity.
Please contact Inga at i.gardner@dover.nh.gov with any questions.

Andrew Jackson
Welcome to our yearlong series in which “America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler”, Heather Rogers, shares facts, factoids, and fun illustrations about the presidents of these United States. This month, our focus turns to Andrew Jackson: Into dueling (and had a bullet near his heart to prove it). Blamed John Quincy Adams for his wife’s death. Last president to conveniently die at the same place where his funeral was held and he was buried (his swearing parrot was kicked out of his funeral). Don't you want to know more (esp about that parrot!?!)? In 2026, journey through Heather's sketchbooks as she shares some of her favorite tidbits, doodles, observations, and resurrection stories about the first 12 presidents.
This program is in partnership with the Ashland Public Library.

About Heather:
Heather Rogers isn’t a historian, an academic, or an impartial storyteller… but she has read more than one book about every U.S. president. Out of spite. She was dubbed “America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler” by one of her favorite biographers and she’s been repeating it ever since. When she’s not reading or doodling history books, she’s a freelance graphic designer, illustrator, and content creator.
To keep her interest during her accidental spite project, Heather Rogers filled hundreds of sketchbook pages doodling her way through presidential biographies. Doing so heightened her curiosity and turned her into an insufferable presidential nerd. Along the way, she discovered unexpected threads connecting seemingly unconnected people, times, and events. She can’t get enough of the weird trivia, coincidences, and quirks. Like the fact that English wasn’t the first language of the first president born in the U.S. Or that a three-part plan was proposed to bring George Washington back to life. Don’t even get her started on William Henry Harrison – he was only president for a month, but she could talk about him for hours.
