Bottle Creek Indian Mounds Tour

November 15, 9am-2pm

$60 per person, registration and prepayment required.
Includes lecture, shuttle to and from boat landing, boat trip, morning coffee, lunch, light snack.
Deadline for registration is November 9.
Limited to 16 participants.

The Bottle Creek Indians lived in the middle of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta in the 1200's to 1500's. They were mound builders, and left behind a historical treasure on what we now call Mound Island, a National Historic Landmark accessible only by water.

Step back in time and come learn about this interesting culture. Take a guided trip to see where and how they lived, walk in their footsteps, and see the mounds they left behind.

Wear comfortable walking shoes you don't mind getting dirty. Trip is by boat, with approximately 3/4 mile walk to the main mound. Tour guided by a historian, a herpetologist and a botanist.

Registration and prepayment are required.
