One of our stops was to Emerald Mound. It is the second largest ceremonial mound in the United States. The mound was used from 1250-1600 A.D. by ancestors of the Natchez Indians. The mound was abandoned in the 1600's when the Natchez moved further south. It is 35 ft high and 770 ft. long and 435 ft. wide. Not one of my favorite stops but neat to think how in the world this was constructed.
