Letchworth Mounds, Native American ceremonial site in Jefferson County, Florida.
The main earthwork mound extends 300 feet at its base and rises to a height of 51 feet within this 188-acre archaeological state park.
The Swift Creek Culture constructed this ceremonial complex between 200 and 450 AD, creating one of three major mound systems in the Florida Panhandle.
Native Americans combined specific mixtures of soil and shells to build the mound, demonstrating their engineering knowledge and organizational capabilities.
Located six miles west of Monticello, the park charges 3 dollars per vehicle and remains open from 8 AM until sunset every day.
Workers transported countless baskets of earth to construct this mound, which stands as the tallest prehistoric Native American ceremonial earthwork in Florida.
