Did you know that one of Pennsylvania’s most significant archaeological sites is in Lancaster County? Hidden in plain sight in the middle of the Susquehanna River, a half-mile below Safe Harbor dam, is the millennium-old petroglyphs of Little Indian Rock and Big Indian Rock.

These boulders represent one of the two largest remaining concentrations of rock art in the northeast United States (the other site being the Machias Bay Petroglyphs along the northeast coast of Maine).
