Inscription Rock, on the south shore of Kelleys Island, is marked with prehistoric Indian pictographs. The flat-topped limestone slab displays carvings of animals and human figures. Discovered partly buried in the shoreline in 1833, the 32-foot-by-21-foot rock is now entirely exposed. Much eroded by the elements, it is now protected by a roof and viewing platform. Archaeologists believe the inscriptions date from sometime between AD 1200 and 1600.

Leo Petroglyph is an outstanding example of prehistoric Indian inscriptions. On the edge of a ravine, the sandstone petroglyph contains 37 incised drawings of humans, animals, and human and animal footprints. It is now protected by a roof and viewing platform. The carvings, whose meaning is unknown, are attributed to Fort Ancient Indians who occupied this area between AD 1000 and 1650.

Huff Indian Village State Historic Site is a classic prehistoric Mandan settlement dating to about AD 1450, perhaps 200 years before Euroamerican influence reached the Missouri Valley area. The village is a very large, well-planned community where perhaps a thousand or more people once lived. Huff Village was probably occupied only for a short time (perhaps 20 years), as indicated by the clarity of the village plan and lack of evidence for rebuilding and trash accumulation. The site is in pristine condition, and the community layout is easily seen on the surface. Depressions marking the locations of more than 100 lodges are arranged roughly in rows, paralleling the river bank. The entire settlement is surrounded by a massive fortification system consisting of a ditch more than 2,000 feet long with 10 well-defined bastions. The village, including its fortifications, covers about 12acres.
