Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park
Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park preserves more than 17,000 years of human history on the banks of the Ocmulgee River — including a series of massive earthen platform mounds constructed by the Mississippian culture between 900 and 1100 CE. The park's centerpiece is the reconstructed Earth Lodge, a ceremonial structure with a clay floor and a ringed seating platform that has survived largely intact for over a thousand years. The visitor center houses an extensive archaeological collection, and the park's trail network winds past mounds, a funeral mound, and river bottomland.
For school field trips, the official group page places bus parking in the grassy area between the visitor-center parking lot and the main park road, while standard school buses cannot reach the mounds because of an 8-foot-clearance historic railroad tunnel.
