Historic National Road - Ohio
Flint Ridge State Memorial, OH

The Flint Ridge State Memorial is undoubtedly the finest interpretive facility concentrating on prehistoric archaeology along the National Road. The memorial, which was established in 1933, includes a museum/visitor center built over a flint quarry that was created by prehistoric Americans. A system of walking trails wind through a series of other open prehistoric flint quarries located on the site. The museum also interprets the geological development of eastern Ohio, which was responsible for the presence of the flint that proved so attractive to the region's earliest inhabitants.
