For almost 9,000 years Russell Cave, in northeastern Alabama, was used for human habitation. This well preserved site offers one of the longest and most complete archeological records in the eastern United States.
Russell Cave National Monument was established on May 11, 1961, when the cave and surrounding 310 acres were donated by the National Geographic Society to the American people. |

Just recently visited Russell Cave. Buy the $2.00 book if you are there next time and read the history of it. It's pretty good! | matcrazy1 Fri Jan 5, 2007 13:13 UTC
Interesting find and exhibition. Glad to hear most of the animals natives used to hunt for still are present in the area. | KiKitC Fri Aug 11, 2006 19:30 UTC
Great tips. Sounds like fun trip we may have to make! | nickandchris Sat Dec 3, 2005 16:34 UTC
Good info. I love caves and we do have a few decent ones in England. At least we don't have poison ivy or many snakes. |
