A polished greenstone axehead, quarried in the Langdales, with its original wooden handle preserved!
Found at Ehenside Tarn in 1869, it is the only hafted Neolithic axe known from England to date!

106 years ago today, the 19th Amendment was ratified, guaranteeing women the right to vote.
Idaho helped lead the nation forward, granting women suffrage in 1896. But today, voices in our own state, including Doug Wilson, have called for reversing that progress.
