America’s first Christmas card?

WV petroglyphs remain for all to see, challenging those who view them to tease out the identity of the person or persons who carved them.

Scholars and archaeologists have been duking it out over the authenticity of the Grave Creek Stone since it first surfaced in 1838.

The human-like tracks were found in a sandstone formation known to belong to the Coal Age, about 12 miles southeast of Berea, KY.

The best archeological guess is that it was built between 500 B.C.-1500 A.D., with the highest probability that it was built around 500 A.D.
