Nestled in one of the most charming, yet secluded, corners of northern Alabama lies the most complete archaeological record of human existence in the southeastern United States.

Russell Cave, designated a National Monument by President John F. Kennedy on May 11, 1961, is a record of over 9,000 years of almost continuous occupation by early Native Americans. This extraordinarily long record makes Russell Cave a significant archaeological and historical treasure provides enormous amounts of valuable information concerning the lifestyles, habits, developments and advancements of early Native Americans in the Southeast.
