EDUCATION PROGRAM REQUEST FORM

We encourage and welcome class field trips to Russell Cave!
Please call 256-495-2672 to schedule a trip for your students or group.

The average class trip spans from two to three hours, including time for lunch in the picnic area. There are no concessions in the park other than a water fountain and one beverage machine, so please come prepared.

Due to our limited staff, only class sizes of 25-30 will receive a Ranger-led tour, prehistoric tools and weapons demonstration and a educational film. Larger class sizes are welcome to come to the park but will need to be self-guided after a brief orientation by a Park Ranger.

Pottery Sherd

Broken pieces of pottery are called "sherds". The National Park Service found over 13,000 pottery sherds at Russell Cave National Monument.  Almost all types of pottery from the local region were found at this site.  The pots were used for storage and cooking.
