After the adventure with the guitar, we drove about 10 miles outside of Jackson to a tiny place called Pinson. We went to see the Indian mounds that are there but we ended up only going into the museum. It was just too hot to hike to the mounds.

However, you can read a bit about them here...plus, the museum is designed to appear like one of the mounds.


TN State Parks: Pinson Mounds State Archaeological Park
The following sentence about the Pinson Mounds will give you some idea of their significance in case you don't care to read the short article.
Pinson Mounds is the largest Middle Woodland period mound group in the United States, and dates to about 1-500 A.D. The Native Americans that built the mounds lived long before historically known Native American tribes, and used the site for ceremonial purposes.
