Neat little place to learn about local Indians from the older days. Beautiful scenery and knowledgeable staff. Great place for a field trip, a family to visit, or just anyone who enjoys learning while being outside. Plan to come when they're hosting an event for the ultimate experience!

It's amazing to be able to visit these historic sites and learn from them. Many of our Native American historic sites have been lost, either to colonialism or due to time. This is a beautiful example of preservation. I would highly recommend a visit to see how the Pee Dee Indians lived and worshiped.

Would love to take out 9 yr old granddaughter there.But looking at the pictures it doesn’t appear to be handicapped friendly. Is there a way to get to the buildings without walking a long way? Don’t think my legs and back can make it that far

Was the black tea drunk specifically for the purpose of vomiting?

Mary Haley | Apr 11, 2021
David Wright | Apr 12, 2021

The black tea comes from an indigenous plant and contains a lot of caffeine. As these people didn't regularly consume caffeine (typically just during busk), their bodies' would reject it. The reaction of vomiting was believed to be cleansing.

Did Washington DC ever return the bodies they took to study in the 80s. I believe.

I'm not sure if they did or not, but, there is a guy inside the orientation building that is highly educated on the site. I'm sure he would be able to answer that question for you.
