Ancient Mounds Trail
Ghost Site Mounds
The Ghost site consists of 3 earthen mounds. The largest is a platform mound measuring 11 feet tall and 118 by 92 feet at the base. The other 2 are about 1 foot tall and are dome shaped. Decorating pottery from the mounds indicate Indians lived at the site as early as AD 800, but built the mounds later, around AD 1050.
