How did Kelley’s Island become Kelley’s Island exactly? These ancient grooves are a big clue. The Glacial Grooves Geological Preserves on the island shows off deep grooves that a glacier scoured into limestone about 18,000 years ago, plus ancient marine fossils. The fossils themselves are about 350 to 400 million years old. Haven’t been? Make the trip.
