The site and center are absolutely worth a visit for anyone interested in indigenous American history and culture, particularly the Mississippian time period. The director of the center is very knowledgeable and friendly, more than willing to share information about the site and findings.

Most of the mounds are pretty visible, and are all significant though the most sizable ones made the biggest impression on me. If you plan to spend long here you may wish to bring food. You can buy candy bars and cold water or soda at a fair price, as well as informational material or souvenirs but there is no kitchen on hand and I am uncertain about nearby restaurants in or around Fort Coffee.

The only issue with my visit is not one that reflects negatively on the center or the legacy of the site in any way. It simply needs to be better funded and improved in accordance with the immense significance and influence of the finds here. It remains a place of significance to many indigenous people today, and contributed an amazing wealth of information and material culture. It is no exaggeration to say it is as valuable as Cahokia and should reflect that.

A wonderful experience. Bring insect repellant if you plan to walk the trails around the mounds and a water bottle at least.
