Native American History Once an important ceremonial center for the Pee Dee people, Town Creek Indian Mound is one

of the best examples of Native American mound architecture in the Southeast. Located on the banks of Little River, the site features a visitors center, a platform mound, three re-created structures and a surrounding palisade. Events throughout the year allow visitors

to make pottery, throw an atlatl (spear), help put daub

on a building at the site and stargaze the clear skies. historicsites.nc.gov/all-sites/
