Question: Where can you visit a reconstructed Indian mound in North Carolina?

Answer: Town Creek Indian Mound in Mount Gilead is a reconstruction based on the original mound’s footprint, which was altered by extensive archaeological excavations over the past 50 years. The rebuilt mound accurately reflects the Pee Dee culture’s ceremonial design. Visitors can also view artifacts in the visitor center, walk interpretive trails, and learn about the Pee Dee culture through exhibits and ongoing archaeological research. The mound is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and admission is free.
