About Meadowcroft Rockshelter and Historic Village

Meadowcroft Rockshelter and Historic Village in Avella is a National Historic Landmark where visitors take daily one-hour tours of a massive rock overhang used 19,000 years ago by prehistoric hunters and gatherers. The site features three interpretive villages spanning 500 years of regional history. At the 16th-century Eastern Woodland Indian Village, visitors explore a wigwam and test aim with a spear thrower. The 18th-century area includes a log cabin and open-sided trading post. At the 19th-century Historic Village, a blacksmith forges red-hot iron and visitors can take lessons in a one-room schoolhouse. A day-long visit suits families and history enthusiasts. All children aged 17 and under receive free general admission from September through November, according to the site listed through November 23. Retired and active duty military receive $2 off admission. Meadowcroft's website at heinzhistorycenter.org lists tickets and current hours.
