About the Event

Join other CHES Families for a FIeld Trip to Town Creek Indian Mound in Mt Gilead, NC.  Town Creek Indian Mound is an unusual phenomenon in the history of North American archaeology.  While most archaeological sites are investigated for a few years before archaeologists move on to new locations, Town Creek, situated on Little River (a tributary of the Great Pee Dee in central North Carolina), has been the focus of a consistent program of archaeological research for more than half a century.  This research has contributed to scientific understanding of the original inhabitants of our continent and has provided educational opportunities for many graduate and undergraduate students in anthropology. Moreover, these contributions to science and higher education were made as the site contributed directly to public education.

Tuesday November 7th, from 1:30-3:45 pm.  Please arrive by 1:20 to check in and use restrooms before the tour begins.

Please  buy a ticket for each person in your family.  This price includes the tour plus a Pinch Pot Pottery activity.
