Living Archaeology Weekend

LAW is an award-winning, immersive experience in Kentucky’s famous Red River Gorge. Our event uses archaeological evidence to inform demonstrations of the region’s Native and Pioneer technologies and lifeways, including flintknapping, pottery making, cooking, spinning, cattail weaving, hide tanning, breaking hemp, dancing, and games. Visitors learn about the area’s rich cultural traditions and gain insights into past people’s lives and experiences. Many demonstrations feature hands-on activities for visitors. The event is family-friendly and accessible.
