Meadowcroft Field Trip

An all school field trip to the Meadowcroft Rockshelter and Museum of Rural Life let us stand where some of the very first Americans stood! Students caught a glimpse of why prehistoric Indians camped at the Rockshelter and what they ate as they huddled around their fires 16,000 years ago. In adddition to touring the Rockshelter archeological site, students participated in an educational program that emphasized native tools and technology and how the Indians used their plant and animal resources to provide their daily needs.

Meadowcroft is an hour's drive from Pittsburgh in Avella, Pa near the Ohio border. Meadowcroft is closed during winter months.
