A 310-acre site in northeastern Alabama preserving one of the most complete records of prehistoric human habitation in the Southeast. Native Americans used the cave shelter from approximately 10,000 BC to 1650 AD — over 11,000 years of continuous use. The cave entrance, visitor center, and short interpretive trails tell the story of Archaic, Woodland, and Mississippian cultures.
