Last month, the PAS board and some friends went to the reopening of the Indian Temple Mound Museum in Fort Walton!

One of the few mound complexes in the panhandle still standing, this site is definitely one to visit! This platform mound is a designated National Historic Landmark due to its significance and representation of the Pensacola Culture, whose peoples constructed it between 800-1400 CE.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit both in the museum and of the reproduced structure on top of the mound. 10/10 would recommend making the trip to see this incredible archaeological site and museum!
