with archeologists Mary McCorvie and Mark Wagner
Both the Crenshaw House — home to the operator of the saltworks — and the Great Salt Spring itself have been excavated in separate archeological investigations.
Hear from Mary McCorvie and Mark Wagner, archeologists involved in the excavation and research of both sites, about what science reveals about the facts behind the legends.
