I live here in Macon and absolutely love this place. Sometimes I come here once a week just a get away from all the work during the week. There are different mounds you can see as well as trails to walk. Make sure you bring water because there is a lot of walking. Entrance is free and usually open to... more

Everything everyone else says is true. This is a must see. We did other things in Macon and this was the best. The first circular mound is fascinating, it is just outside the city and it is free! more

The Ocmulgee National Monument is an interesting look at the lives of ancient Native Americans. To enjoy it, you need to realize just how important a site this was. There is evidence of habitation here dating back some 12,000 years. I strongly recommend watching the 17-minute film before touring the park. Past that, Ocmulgee is a beautiful park with well... more

Ocmulgee National Monument is a very beautiful natural place. The moulds are very well-preserved and it is indeed interesting for us to know more about the Mississipian Indians. We took a walk around the whole area, about 45 mins for a leisure walk to visit all the moulds. But you can choose to drive around too, you can get a... more

The park is a reminder of GOD's creation. As you stand on the top of the temple mound, you can almost touch GOD and the heavens. As you look at the exquisite view, you know why the Indians made this area their home. You can appreciate the natural beauty and peace.You are taken back to what a paradise GOD created.... more
