Jan Simek Cave Art Presentation Coming to Crossville

I had the pleasure to see Dr. Simek's presentation at the Devil's Step Hollow facility when it was acquired by the state. This is well worth the trouble to see.

Devil’s Step Hollow Cave in Cumberland County contains one of the oldest and largest collections of Native American art in the U.S., said to be over 1,000 years old. To preserve this legacy, Devil’s Step Hollow Cave has been sealed to the public. However, Dr. Simek will be in Crossville Tuesday, June 26 at the Palace Theatre, 72. S. Main St., for a presentation of the photographs and history of these petroglyphs and pictographs. The photography of this ancient art is by Alan Cressler of Chattanooga.
