stonetracker visited on 1st Feb 2024 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Well preserved Late Mississippian village and mound site with a nice museum. A paved trail provides good access to and interpretation of all cultural features at the site, including historic features. Appears to be fully accessible to disabled visitors.
The site was originally 17 acres enclosed by a palisade and a ditch connected to the St. Francis River. The ditch appears to have been partially natural and was extended by the inhabitants to provide protection in addition to their stockade.
For information on operating hours see the park website.
