Review & FAQ:
The product of over five million hours of labor, Poverty Point is a highly sophisticated and important archaeological site in North America. It is an engineering marvel which was once, at its peak 3,000 years ago, a part of an enormous trading network which stretched across the continent. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is a rare remnant of an exceptional culture that imported stone and ore over great distances to construct what is thought to be dwellings overlooking the Mississippi River flood plain. It is an exciting stretch of land to explore and there are several guided tours and special programs held there throughout the year.
