tripadvisorUnfortunately, this is located off a busy street in between a hotel and a restaurant. There is a sign with a basic explanation of what the mound is. Unless you are really interested, I wouldn't suggest making a special trip just for this.
MoreMy dad and his family was raised about 2 miles from the Indian burial ground and did not know about it.My daughter and I were staying at the Landmark Inn when a guy was walking around there and stopped to talk to us.My daughter was Curious of how the motel got it’s name and he explained and asked us if we had a minute so he took us around the front of the building and showed us the marker.This was 1:00 in the morning.So we went back around to our room we were sitting out back of the motel there are a creek out back.Needless to say we had one of our best time up there.
MoreIt was not what I expected. A small plaque was all that was there in regards to the Indian mounds. Otherwise it was paved walkways or greenways as the city refused to it as. Nothing special. Just a walkway.
MoreThis is a very nice historical location, but the city needs to invest more time and money to making it more that what it is. If you didn't know it was here, you wouldn't find it. There needs to be better signs and more information on it.
MoreI'm from New Mexico and for the most part, these types of sites are considered extremely sacred and protected. I was shocked when our Google maps stopped us between a Shoney's and Hotel. Took us a while to understand where it was and how to view the site. Although, I can understand how prior cultures might not have thought this sacred and the town built up around this site. At a minimum, it is honored, but just think a regular graveyard is much more honored than this mound.
