Paul Nevin, president of the Lower Susquehanna Archaeological Society, and former Director of Susquehanna National Heritage Area’s Zimmerman Center for Heritage in Wrightsville, PA, is acknowledged as the leading authority on the rock art of the lower Susquehanna River, and is the author of the new book “A Guide to the Safe Harbor Petroglyphs.”
For hundreds, if not thousands of years, the activity of creating rock art flourished on the lower reaches of the Susquehanna River. Although the majority of these ancient carvings are now under water impounded by dams, those remaining still constitute the largest concentration of Native American petroglyphs in the northeast United States. Paul Nevin has been researching, documenting, and visiting these rock art sites for more than forty years. In this program, Paul will present a survey of these enigmatic sites, with a special focus on the spectacular Safe Harbor Petroglyphs, located on the Susquehanna River in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
Come meet Paul, learn about the glyphs and pick up a signed copy of his new book.
