Moundville Archaeological Park

Moundville Archaeological Park overlooks the Black Warrior River. A National Historic Landmark, the 320-acre park preserves 26 pre-historic, Mississippian-era Indian mounds. Visitors can stroll along a boardwalk nature trail winding through the forest and along the river, scale the Temple Mound to view a life-sized diorama of ancient Indian rituals, eat lunch in the picnic area, or set up a tent in the wooded campground. The Jones Archaeological Museum contains exhibits on the culture of Native Americans along with artifacts unearthed during the 1930s excavations. Visitors can view videos on Native American lifeways in the museum theater. The campground has 31 spaces equipped with water, electrical hookup, RV pads and grills. The bathhouse provides modern showers and toilets. A dumping station is adjacent to the campsites.
