#ocmulgeenationalmonument #ocmulgeemounds #maconga We often hear of these "hidden treasures" in our RV travels. The Ocmulgee Nation Monument is definitely one of those rare locations offering a walk through amazing native American history, museum dedicated to the site and hiking along a wide range of nature trails. The National Monument is located in the center of Macon, GA minutes from the intersection of I-75 and I-16 This location had over 17,000 years of continuous human habitation from the Paleo-Indian period until the removal of the Muscogee Creek Indian during the Trail of Tears in 1836.

Today the Ocmulgee Nation Monument offers trails along these great mounds ranging from 1/4 of a mile to a mile. Along these trails, visitors can see history spanning over thousands of years from the ancient mounds, to Civil War earthworks, as well as enjoying nature along the wetlands. The museum contains over 2,000 artifacts discovered on the site dating form 10,000 BC to the 1800's. My favorite is entering the Earth Lodge. This lodge is the only one know in existance and the earthen lodge floor has been carbon dated to the year 1015.

The Ocmulgee Nation Monument is a great location for a short stop or a day trip. For more information, visit the National Park website at:
