Learn more about Petroglyphs of the Middle Fork of the American River tomorrow at the Bernhard Museum Winery. Tahoe National Forest Archaeologist Nolan Smith will show images of petroglyphs recorded by archaeologists working near the American River.
What are petroglyphs? They are the patterns of lines and images carved into stone. Unlike pictographs, which are images drawn or painted onto a rock’s surface, petroglyphs are created by removing part of the rock itself.
The event is free. The Bernhard Museum Winery is located at 291 Auburn Folsom Road in Auburn. Please call 530.889.6500 for more information.
