Don't go here expecting anything extraordinary. It's just a bunch of hills. For a nice state park nearby, try Harmonie in New Harmony. More

This site cries out for a state-of-the-art interactive multimedia visitors' center, but I get the sense that the staff - nice folks - are hanging on for dear life, soliciting sponsors and volunteers. The government never caught a vision for the possibilities even during the most prosperous times, so it's not likely to happen now. I just wish a Gates... More

Very cool, especially for kids, but does require some walking to visit the various 'huts' - the temple hut is a bit of a hike. More

Be sure to catch the film before you go out to the mounds, it will give you a good overview of what this once was and meant to the Mississippian Indians. If you come here in summer it can be extremely hot so be prepared. It makes for an interesting two hours or so and the price is right. More

This was a great way to spend a couple hours, even on a cold rainy day...it was so interesting to see how life was back in the days of Native Americans! It was relatively cheap to get into as well! More

What a masterpiece, the inside portion of the museum has been updated and is really cool. The new bridge outside to the village is really nice. Great place to visit. More

Since my wife and I are such history buffs, we decided it would be great to go to Angel Mounds. It is the site of an Indian village before white men came on the continent. When we first arrived, no one greated us because they were setting up for their Halloween party. When someone finally came and we paid our... More
