town creek indian mound印象

Beautiful scenery, amazing history, great presentation & helpful, friendly staff. The kids loved the arrowheads & going into the huts. Very informative video and knowledgeable staff. Even if you have only a passing interest in Native American history, this is the place to see!

Great for children but for an adult I found it boring. Not really much to see there. They do a good job of reacting the indian ways.

Worth your hour! Unusual site that is reasonably well-developed and nicely interpreted. Includes ample parking, visitors' center, reconstructed village including burial mound, small exhibit including archeological information and the history of the exploration of the site, gift shop with local and academic books. Spend about 20-30 minutes inside and then the same amount of time outside in the village area exploring the information about burial mounds (includes a modest incline to enter one building). Best to do on a day when you feel comfortable outside (spring, fall days would be good ones). Staff obviously cared about site and were knowledgeable about it. Small donations requested but no admission fee.

Town Creek Indian Mound is a wonderful place that takes you back to the prehistoric Native Americans. The village has been recreated to authenticity and are identified by plaques.you walk along the village and explore the buildings, there even is a trail along the river. There are special events during the year so check their calendar.

This used to be a wonderful place to go in the late 80's early 90 but now it is just average. On our last visit I took my kids and you can no longer get in the huts

Five of us planned a day trip to Town Creek Indian Mound on 8/10/13 because it was a special events day. My son used clay to mold a bowl with designs on it like the indians used. He also got to mud the wall on a hut on the site. There was an artisan there who was selling arrowheads and other items he had made. Although there was not as much there as I had imagined, I still liked an learned much about the indians who had lived there. I would go on a special events day though as there is more happening. Check out the website.

Students from my school had taken field trips to Town Creek, but I had never been. I was in the area, and decided to check it out. Although the day was very hot and humid, I found the experience worthwhile. The small museum displays artifacts from the site and there is an orientation film that does a decent job of introducing the area. My 13 year old niece and I enjoyed exploring the site and the nature trail. I would recommend a visit, but suggest you go in the fall, when the weather is a bit more tolerable.

interesting history. random as it is in the middle of no where. took a while on the motorcycle to get here. maybe 1 hr 20 min from charlotte. the staff was completly clueless of the questions that i had, so they might as well have a sign that states "please refrain all questions until you get home so you have the chance to google." the area was interesting, i feel like more could be done to improve the site.

This is a small area to visit that takes less than an hour to see everything. The small museum is clean and the exhibits are in good repair. A movie was 18 minutes and very informative. A short walk on a mowed path through a field of goldenrod takes you to the mound. It has three structures to see. The cost is by donation.

Reconstrucion of a Southeastern Appalachian Mississippan Village. Very informative. A typical village surrounded by a pavillion. Three rebuilt structures in the village area. The museum out front shows a 20 min. movie before the tour. Artifacts can be seen inside the museum. They have a small gift shop and restroom facilities. Snack machines located outside the building or candy for sale inside. Donations but not fixed entrance fee. Also be noted there is a little uphill path to one of the buildings(people with bad knees take note) and you have to bend your head low to enter the buildings. My husband smacked his head a wee bit--he is 6 ft. 1 in.
