Archaeology Day

Meadowcroft Rockshelter is hosting an Archaeology Day where your family can explore how experts uncover stories from prehistoric times. Real archaeologists from the Society for Pennsylvania Archaeology will be on-site sharing their knowledge through talks, hands-on artifact identification sessions, and live demonstrations of ancient tools and technology. It's a great opportunity for curious kids and adults alike to step into an archaeologist's role and discover the secrets of the past. Your admission to this event is included with regular Meadowcroft admission, and children 17 and under get in free thanks to UPMC support. The site recommends purchasing tickets in advance to make your visit smoother. Whether your family loves history or enjoys exploring and learning, this is a fun way to spend a full day engaging with Pennsylvania's archaeological heritage.
