The Belmont County Historical Society is sponsoring a field trip to the Barnesville Petroglyph, known locally as Track Rocks, on July 13th, 2023. John Boilegh, an anthropologist with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, will lead the tour.
Track Rocks is located just a few miles from Barnesville. The carvings were made by Native Americas that once lived in the area. Some researchers believe they could have been made as early as 500 BC.

Be sure to wear comfortable and sturdy shoes, and cameras are permitted. After visiting the site, we will return to the museum for further discussion of the site.
