Big Bone Lick State Historic Site is located at 3380 Beaver Road in Union.
Authentic demonstrations will include: flint knapping, weaving, beadwork, rope making, primitive fire starting, cooking, traditional storytelling and more. The celebration runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Big Bone Lick is a virtual Ice Age showcase and is regarded as the birthplace of American vertebrate paleontology.
In addition to the new exhibits featured in the museum and visitor center, the park is also home to a campground that was recently selected as one of Kentucky’s top five. It also offers hiking and nature study trails, annual special events including the Salt Festival, now in its 31st year, and seasonal recreational activities and interpreter-led programs.
