New this year, a self-guided trail with informational signs will provide visitors with a new walking trail loop through the woods surrounding Meadowcroft. Visitors will learn how the forest served as the supermarket, pharmacy, clothing store, and much more to American Indians.
Later this spring, Meadowcroft will unveil two new 1770s era structures that will help spotlight the similarities and differences between the everyday lives of European settlers and American Indians in the Upper Ohio Valley.
