Review:
The Etowah Indian Mounds State Park is an ancient historic site in Bartow County that was once home to thousands of Native Americans in the early 2nd century. Dating back to between 1000 A.D. and 1550 A.D., the site spans 54 acres and has six flat-topped earthen mounds, some of which stand over 50 feet, a village area with a plaza, a defensive ditch, and borrow pits, giving insight into the lifestyle of the Native Americans who resided here. The largest of the flat-topped earthen mounds stands at 63 feet and was used as a platform for the home of the priest-chief. An on-site museum features several exhibits of artifacts found in the archaeological site such as shells, beads, paint, and tattoos.
