The Caddo Native American tribe inhabited this site from 800 AD to about 1300 AD. It’s believed that the Caddos, part of the mound building culture of the Mississippi River valley, moved into the region from the northeast. The site has a short trail with interpretive signs explaining village life and the purpose of the burial mound, temple mound, and ceremonial mound.There’s also a small museum with artifacts that were excavated from the mounds plus a short film.
The museum is accessible. The trail is level and composed of finely crushed gravel so it’s very easy to roll along.
The lot isn’t very big but large RVs may be able to fit parked along the edge. The lot makes a loop so you can pull through and get back onto the main road if there’s no suitable parking. Caddo Mounds
