Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Indian Temple and Mound Museum pays homage to the 12,000 years of Native American occupation that occurred before European explorers and settlers came to the Emerald Coast. The Native Americans in the area were intensely agricultural, and built mounds for burial and sacred purposes. Most of the museum's 1,000 artifacts are from the period 1100-1550 AD, although it does have a fine collection of much-earlier prehistoric ceramics. In 1528, Spanish explorer ÁlvarNúñezCabeza de Vaca came to these shores, and the museum has some items from this exploratory period, and from the early settlers of north western Florida. Visitors may climb steps level with the top of the prehistoric mound, although climbing on the mound itself is strictly forbidden.
