Welcome to Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park. This park is a prehistoric American Indian site, where many different American Indian cultures occupied this land for thousands of years.

Around 900 CE, the Mississippian Period began, and people constructed mounds for their elite, which remain here today.
