Meadowcroft Rockshelter and Historic Village

008
   Meadowcroft Rockshelter, large, flat, cave-like area protected by a sandstone overhang, is the site of some of the earliest evidence of human habitation in the Americas. Meadowcroft Village consists of five relocated buildings. Also on the site are two interpretive areas, a  Monongahela Indian Village and a very small frontier farm ; a visitor center; and three buildings with horse racing memorabilia, farm equipment, and carriages.

  Most of the outside exhibits are not accessible due to steps, steep rocky paths, and uneven grass paths but with a very energetic pusher a visitor in a wheelchair can manage to see some of it. The rock shelter is accessed by a long flight of steps The visitor center is all accessible. The short video clips and movie about the rock shelter are worth watching.

  The parking lot is large enough for all RVs but the entrance road is steep and narrow. Meadowcroft
