Leo Petroglyph State Memorial, an Ohio State Memorial located nearby Chillicothe, Jackson and Chillicothe

LEO PETROGLYPH STATE MEMORIAL

Leo Petroglyph is an outstanding example of prehistoric Indian inscriptions.

On the edge of a beautiful ravine, the sandstone petroglyph contains 37 incised drawings of humans, animals, and human and animal footprints. It is now protected by a roof and viewing platform. The carvings, whose meaning is unknown, are attributed to Fort Ancient Indians who occupied this area between AD 1000 and 1650.

A trail leads through the gorge and along the unglaciated Mississippian sandstone cliffs that are 20 to 65 feet high. Wildflowers and birds are abundant during the warmer months.
