Rood Creek Indian Mounds

Description:
The mound site, consisting of a large multiple-mound Mississippian ceremonial center with nine temple mounds fortified by two moats, has remained virtually untouched except for the brush and forest that have grown around them. The earthworks are known as the Rood Mounds because the Rood family owned a plantation on this land. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers now owns the property, and it is closed to the public with the exception of a tour leaving from the Kirbo Educational Museum in Florence Marina State Park. The 1-mile walk through the site last about 1.5 hours.
