In reply to Mary. We have not. I'll have to see if we will be near it during our upcoming Minnesota adventure. Thanks!

We will be traveling through this area and have decided to plan a stop. Have you visited Pipestone National Monument in Minnesota? Also a quarry where stone was dug for and then used for making peace pipes. They had on-site indigenous people carving the stone.

Very interesting to find out about this material flint that was so important to native Americans. It is also fitting that there is this national monument to preserve that part of our history. Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument

The flint quarries were definitely a great place to stop. Wish I’d known about them when I’ve passed through Amarillo on road trips. Interesting American Indian history and it looks like a beautiful area for a walk.
