Big Bone Lick State Historic Site
Big Bone Lick State Historic Site is distinct:
- A Natural National Landmark
- A recently designated National Historic Landmark as well – making them one of only thirteen locations in the United States to hold both designations.
- The birthplace of vertebrate paleontology
This state treasure is also a prehistoric gathering spot that is still a peaceful and inspiring location to gather your crew.
This park has free admission to their grounds and museum, playgrounds and picnic areas. They also maintain 62 full hook up sites in their campground, which features a small pool (currently closed), new playground with accessible swing, and a miniature golf course.
Big Bone Lick also has a ten check point orienteering course, almost five miles of trails, and a bison herd to observe – mornings and late afternoons are the best time for this!
