Description

Step into the remains of a Mississippian-era Native American settlement at Wickliffe Mounds State Historic Site. Flourishing roughly from A.D. 1100 to 1350, the village was built around earthen mounds and served as an important community and ceremonial center. Museum exhibits and archaeological displays help explain the people who lived here, their traditions, and the work that uncovered the site. It is a thoughtful stop for travelers interested in Indigenous history, archaeology, and the ancient communities of western Kentucky.
