Everett Field holds 10,000 years of Indigenous history still being uncovered

Arrowheads, earth ovens and pottery from ancient Indigenous residents found on Summit Metro Parks’ land leased to Szalay’s Farm & Market. Summit Metro Parks and the Szalays are in the middle of negotiations over the future use of Everett Field. Earlier this month, Summit Metro Parks finalized a new lease proposal for the Szalays. Because of the historical and archaeological significance of Everett Field, Summit Metro Parks proposed conserving 12 acres of Everett Field for use by the park system. The Szalays would still be able to farm the remaining 22.5 acres.
