Exploring the Emerald Mound
First stop in our Natchez Trace experience was Emerald Mound. 600+ years old, second largest in the country, this place was impressive. Huge. It was hard to really comprehend its size. Amazing to me that these mound builders are all over this area and yet, I don't remember learning about them until several months ago. Forget just tepees and huts... My seven year old gets to learn all this at seven! We'll discuss it in class again in several months and they'll have real life experience.
