From Gavel to Gravel: One judge’s Journey From Presiding Over Courtrooms to an Archaeology site!

From Gavel to Gravel
Retired Judge Gary Nickerson shares the fascinating story of his journey from the courtroom to the excavation field in this engaging presentation.
After years on the bench, Judge Nickerson traded legal briefs for archaeological digs, becoming a member of an archaeology team in Chatham assisting with an archaeological dig at what is believed to be the original Nickerson homestead in Chatham.
Through stories, discoveries, and personal reflections, he explores how a lifelong curiosity about history led him to uncover pieces of the past buried beneath Cape Cod’s landscape. “From Gavel to Gravel” offers a unique look at reinvention, local history, and the unexpected paths retirement can open.
