Moundbuilders: Ancient Architects Of North America

You might be familiar with the some of the more famous prehistoric monuments around the globe—the Great Pyramids in Egypt; Stonehenge in England; Macchu Pichu in Peru. But did you know we have our own impressive monuments right here in the United States? Some even older than the pyramids, these spectacular earthworks give us glimpses into more than 5,000 years of Native North American prehistory. Moundbuilders will explore the fascinating history of Native American moundbuilding through a variety of photographs, artifacts, archival materials, and excavation records.
