The Village Trail

Walk along the Village Trail and imagine what life was like 500 years ago when this village was inhabited by American Indians. See the still-standing platform mound on which the chief lived, and the extensive moat that was built for defense. Travel to another time period as well, as during the 1900s there was a sawmill, associated town, cemetery, African American school, and modern community on the grounds. You can visit the cemetery and restored one-room schoolhouse on the Village Trail. Interpretive signage will guide you as you explore the archeological site.
