Ancient Mounds in Bibb County, Georgia.
The Lamar Mounds are within the Ocmulgee Mounds National Park. The mounds and an adjacent village area are the remains of a Post Classical Mississippian village that was occupied and active at the time of the DeSoto exploration.
The features include a unique spiral mound.
The Lamar site is not developed and lies in a floodplane. In dry weather, visitors may request a permit from the main office in the Ocmulgee Visitor's Center and hike back to the Lamar site.
