Moundville is one of the most amazing places that I have ever experienced in my life. As you're coming down the road to the park, you get a glimpse of it when you come through the gate, but when you pop out of the woods and over the railroad tracks, the magnificence becomes reality. It is quite large, has a very rich history, with ties to many modern Native American tribes, and the park itself is well taken care of. The staff is solid, the museum is world class, they have a river overlook for the Black Warrior River, and the big Mound itself is a blast to climb, also with a great view. They also have both a modern, and primitive campground, and a bathhouse. If I could give them 10 stars, I would.
This was great place to visit. They have 2 mounds you can walk up which give you a great view of how large the settlement was. There are several wallinking trails, a village you can walk through, a river over look and a museum. The museum also has food and drinks for sale.
I had a wonderful few hours here. The art deco museum is great (thank you to the indispensable CCC!!!) and the mounds are somewhat mystical. Summer Tanager, Indigo Buntings, and Meadowlarks abound.
A wonderful place to spend the day! We went with family and spent the day wandering around the site, spending time in the museum, at the exhibits, and gift shop and checking out the areas near the water! It was warm, so bring water! It was great to see the University really looking at the artifacts they had on display. A great place to spend a day, lots to learn!
We enjoyed our visit to the mounds and the museum. We also walked the Douglas Nature Trail, which was shaded, pretty and well-kept. There was a scenic River lookout at the end as well.
