Wilson Butte Cave is located on the Snake River plain in Jerome County, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as an archeological site. Excavation has shown that native people lived in and around the cave at least 10,000 years ago, possibly as long ago as 15,000 years.

Artifacts found here provide the oldest evidence of human presence on the Snake River Plain and are among the oldest such evidence in all of North America. Archeologists are fairly certain that the reason the cave was settled so early is that it was used as a base from which to hunt bison. Strong connections have been found to the Fremont culture and the Shoshone people, who lived there after the Fremont peoples. Vegetation in the region was very similar to modern times. Camels and giant ground sloths once roamed this region!
