Russell Cave National Monument





We headed over to Russell Cave Shelter and completed the Junior Ranger Program. One of the rangers took us under her wing and did her entire demo for school groups. She went through all the weapons that had been used in the shelter from 10,000 BC to 1800 AD. The kids got to try out spears, atlatls, blow guns, throwing sticks, bow and arrows. This was all before we ever even took the boardwalk over to the cave shelter! Fascinating day that was enjoyed by all.
