Travel back 19,000 years from the comfort of your couch! This National Historic Landmark, located in Washington County, PA, features a massive rock overhang used 19,000 years ago for shelter by the first people in North America. In addition to ancient history at the Rockshelter, visitors to Meadowcroft can also step back in time to experience rural life over the past 500 years through a series of interpretive villages, including a 16th century Eastern Woodland Indian Village, an 18th century log cabin and open-sided trading post, and a 19th century village that includes a church, one-room schoolhouse, and blacksmith shop.
At this virtual program, Dave Scofield, Executive Director of the Meadowcroft Rockshelter & Historic Village, will highlight the history of the site and what you may see during your visit.
