Wakulla County Event Celebrates the Artistry and Survival Skills of Florida’s Earliest Inhabitants

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) Ochlockonee River State Park is hosting the First Annual Stone Age and Primitive Art Festival.

On Friday, February 8, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., visitors will experience “hands-on” learning, as experts demonstrate techniques that were used thousands of years ago in day to day life. Visitors will also see projectile point fashioning, also known as flint-knapping which is the art of chipping stone into tools, bow and arrow construction, basket weaving, early pottery methods and more.

According to archeological research, Ochlockonee River’s rich history of humans interacting with nature goes back 12,000 years.

Admission is the regular park entrance fee of $3.00 per carload of up to eight people, and $1.00 per pedestrian or bicyclist. The admission fee includes access to all events.
