Between 500 and 700 years ago, the area we now call Angel Mounds was a thriving Mississippian Indian town. Built between A.D. 1100 and 1300, the town was occupied by 1,000 - 3,000 inhabitants until its abandonment around 1450. Throughout that time, it was the largest settlement in Indiana. It served as the center of trade, government and religion for smaller satellite communities within a 70-mile radius.
The 600+ acres that comprise Angel Mounds State Historic Site were purchased in 1938 by the Indiana Historical Society. In 1947, ownership was transferred to the State of Indiana. It is now managed and interpreted by the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites. Indiana University is responsible for excavations and research on the site.
DIRECTIONS:
Find the tiny Angel cemetery located on the western perimeter of the grounds. Standing at the wrought iron fence surrounding the cemeter, walk south along the treeline. At 30 paces, you should see a big log about 6 feet in to your right. The end of the log hides a present from the past.
NOTE: Before you set out you must read and agree to the Waiver of Responsibility and Disclaimer.
