Most of the artifacts found in Russell Cave are on display at the visitor center museum. Depending on the National Monument staff’s availability historic demonstrations are given upon request, allowing visitors to learn more about the original inhabitants weapons and tools, as well as food preparation methods and cooking techniques, all dating from the Archaic period. The Indian garden features plants likely grown by cave inhabitants during the growing season.
