Flint Ridge State Memorial, Archaeological museum in Brownsville, US.
The Flint Ridge State Memorial extends across 525 acres of woodland terrain, featuring numerous prehistoric quarry pits and geological formations of multicolored flint.
Native Americans extracted flint from hundreds of quarries along this ridge for thousands of years, creating tools and weapons that reached territories from the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of Mexico.
The museum displays demonstrate traditional flint knapping techniques and showcase artifacts that represent the manufacturing methods of prehistoric Ohio communities.
Located at 7091 Brownsville Road, the memorial includes parking facilities, interpretive trails, and a museum shop that sells locally crafted flint jewelry.
The site contains specific varieties of flint within the Vanport Limestone Member, formed during the Pennsylvanian age, making it a significant geological reference point.
