The Beaver Valley Rock Shelter Site hides in New Castle County, near Wilmington and the state line with Pennsylvania. Flocked by history, yet admittedly late to the party, this cave was added to the national files in 1958, courtesy of George Jackson. Ancestral to the Delaware Indians, the cave had a long history of serving as a natural shelter and storage area for tribes like the Lenni Lenape. In the 1940s, the Archeological Society of Delaware conducted research, underscoring its historical significance. Despite its meager size, stretching just 56 feet, the Beaver Valley Rock Shelter Site is one of the United States' most researched caves due to its location. Jack Speece remarks that this little tunnel of time has gone by several names, including Indian Cave, Beaver Valley Rock Shelter, and Wolf Rock Cave.
