Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Russell Cave National Monument is not just an abundant outdoor green space but also a historic archaeological site with one of the most complete records of prehistoric cultures found in the Southeast. A portion of the entrance to Russell Cave collapsed thousands of years ago, creating a makeshift shelter which was home to prehistoric peoples for over 10,000 years. Upon its discovery, the cave held artifacts which display the daily life of those early inhabitants. In addition to exploring the cave, which is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, you’ll also be able to see the exhibits at the Gilbert H. Grosvenor Visitor Center.
