Sue took a picture of this sign that gives a brief history of what we were about to experience.

The building was closed but the walking trails were open so we could explore the area that was so rich in history.
This LINK will provide you with some great history and video of the area.
Here is another site that does a great job explaining the rich history.
It is humbling to think that these Native Americans lived here and had done these rock carvings long before the pyramids were built.

The exact age of the petroglyphs is not known, but some atlatl symbols at Jeffers are a close match with similar symbols at Indian Knoll in Kentucky, which have been dated to 3000 BCE. These are probably the earliest petroglyphs at the site and indicate that the site was first visited during the Late Archaic Period.
