Preservation Pathways: Exploring Ancient Mounds
Time: 9:00 am til 10:00 am
Location: 139 Miracle Strip Pkwy, Fort Walton Beach, FL
Description: Why did ancient Floridians build large mound complexes thousands of years ago? What has archaeology taught us about these sites? How come some are still standing and others are gone? Come find out by joining the Florida Public Archaeology Network and Heritage Park & Cultural Center for an urban hiking tour of some ancient Native American mounds in downtown Fort Walton Beach!
We will talk about archaeological excavations of these sites and efforts to preserve and protect these non-renewable cultural resources. This program is free and open to the public. Participants will meet at the front entrance of the Indian Temple Mound Museum at 9:00 a.m. Total hiking tour distance is ½ mile.
