I thought I was 1/8 Native American until 2 different DNA tests told me otherwise. One useless fact later.... this place is an unexpected delight in the middle of a concrete jungle. The artifacts have a distinct Incan vibe. The modern Freemason temple across the street from this historic temple indicates that there's more value to this location that is likely not fully understood by the average visitor. Hidden gem if you ask me. Be sure to support the site and locals through the gift shop.

Came here on a Thursday morning and it got busy pretty quickly! The staff was great, they have a nice gift shop. We didn't go through the museum because we had to get back to our hotel but we did buy some cool stuff to support them, including a beautiful ring. The Mound was magical and felt like we stepped back in time just from simply looking at it. I love everything Native American and will always support anything I can.

Closed?!?!?! If I could give it 'zero' stars, I would!! We came over 800 miles, looking forward to the visit, as we are both Native American. Called on Wednesday to confirm hours of operation. Checked Facebook on Thursday, AND checked their website. Friday, we git a sitter for the kids, and drove over 30 minutes from our rental to arrive to a paper sign saying they were closed for staff training! The employee I spoke with on Wednesday said NOTHING about being closed on Friday. The website says NOTHING about being closed on Friday. When I called the museum, (standing outside the locked entrance) the recording informs me they are in fact open today, as I stand here. Facebook page says NOTHING about being closed today. I realize training sessions are necessary, but, let people know! Very, very aggravating!!!!

I’ve been to a lot of Indian mounds across the Southeastern United States & this is one of my favorites! Great for kids & adults! The museum had several interactive exhibits as well as a wide assortment of Indian relics & artifacts. The staff was very friendly & knowledgeable. Also the gift shop has everything from post cards to research books. Highly recommend!!!

Lots of artifacts and historical information here. Mound is somewhat intact. So much has been lost due to the sidewalks, roads and buildings that completely surround this place. Luckily this was preserved. Staff was very knowledgeable about the history of this area. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.

A fantastic little museum full of Native American history, and currently a pirate exhibit that's perfect for younger kids! Lovely staff, very kind and helpful! We visited with our luggage to kill time, and they let us leave our bags behind the counter which was so helpful!
