Caddo Mounds State Historic Site
Caddo Mounds State Historic Site, Archaeological ceremonial center in Alto, Texas.
The site contains three earthen mounds rising from the landscape, including two platform mounds and one burial mound spanning 353 acres of land.
The Caddo people established this permanent settlement around 800 CE and maintained it as a ceremonial center until their departure in the 13th century.
The site represents the traditions of the Caddo Nation through educational programs, exhibits, and collaborations with current Caddo Nation members from Oklahoma.
Visitors can explore a museum with hands-on exhibits, walk a 0.7-mile interpretive trail, and examine the mounds during operating hours from Tuesday to Sunday.
The location marks the southwesternmost ceremonial mound center of North American mound-building cultures along El Camino Real de los Tejas.
