Jeffers Petroglyphs



Way down south in Jeffers, many years ago, indians got together, carved on all the stone!

The Jeffers Petroglyphs are located in Jeffers MN. What are Petroglyphs you might ask? Well Petroglyphs are carvings of things like turtles, snakes, and hands. Most of the carvings are hard to see. So they have a guide out there to help you see them.

It was a nice day to be out there because they were doing some special hunting things that normally don't do. It is about a ½ a mile walk just to get out to the Petroglyphs. Plus another ¾ of a mile if you go thought the prairie to get back to the main building. Back to the hunting thing what you get is an atlatl which is basically an arrow. Then you get a wooden block thing that you attach that you atlatl to. Then you throw!
