Digging Into
Man's Past
The nugor focus of the Thunderbird Museum and Archeological Park is the history of man in the Shenandoah Valley.
Located seven miles south of Front Royal, the museum is on a 3,000-year-old site where archeologists continue excavation activites throughout the summer. Museum exhibits of Indian tools and scenes of technological changes through the years represent almost 12,000 years of human history.
The museum looks out across the South Fork of the Shenandoah River toward Massanutten Mountain. When man first came to the area, the mountains were snow-covered year round, and nowextinct animals, such as mammoth, mastodon, and long-homed bison, grazed on the valley grasslands.
Millions of years before, oceans and shallow seas covered what was then a vast plain. Museum exhibits depict the amazing changes in topography and environment wrought by thousands of years of erosion.
