Owl Creek Mounds, Archaeological site in Tombigbee National Forest, Mississippi, United States.
The Owl Creek Mounds complex contains five ancient earthen mounds of different sizes and shapes, including a central platform mound with steps to the summit.
Native American communities constructed these ceremonial mounds between 800 and 900 years ago during the Mississippian period, spanning from 900 AD to 1500 AD.
The mounds served as centers for religious ceremonies, political gatherings, and commercial exchanges among indigenous peoples of the southeastern United States.
Visitors can access the archaeological site through marked paths from the Natchez Trace Parkway, with free admission and educational signs throughout the grounds.
The site experienced a brief period of use lasting only 100 years before its inhabitants left, making it different from other Mississippian ceremonial locations.
