Step back thousands of years at the Calico Early Man Site, a remarkable archaeological preserve where the footprint of North America's earliest inhabitants is etched into the rugged California landscape. Wander through ancient workspaces, examine the tools and artifacts left behind, and imagine the lives of the people who called this place home over 13,000 years ago, a journey of discovery along the Mother Road. This historic landmark offers a profound connection to our distant past, right off the iconic highway.
