Francis Farm Petroglyphs
Francis Farm Petroglyphs, Native American archaeological site in Jefferson Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, US.
The Francis Farm Petroglyphs site consists of a large sandstone outcrop measuring 6.3 meters north to south and 5.7 meters east to west at 1,140 feet elevation.
The petroglyphs have been documented since the mid-nineteenth century, with official records created in 1958 by Carnegie Museum archaeologist James Swauger.
The stone carvings include seven distinct groups depicting human forms, mammals, reptiles, geometric figures, artifacts, and various pit formations created by Native Americans.
The site remains accessible for research purposes while requiring protection measures to prevent further damage from modern inscriptions and environmental factors.
Among the numerous carvings at Francis Farm, one notable petroglyph depicts what researchers have identified as a detailed representation of a rattlesnake.
