Abstract:
The Pee Dee Indians vanished from the Sandhills in the 1400s and their culture lay buried beneath cornfields in Montgomery County until 1937, when the state recognized the value of the site and purchased it. Excavated for nearly fifty years by Joffre Coe, the Town Creek Indian Mound is the only North Carolina Historic Site devoted exclusively to Native American history. The site was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965.

Abstract:
Thanks to Joffre Lanning Coe, an archaeology professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Town Creek Indian Mount was reconstructed. The site is the state's only prehistoric National Historic Landmark, and looks today as it did 500 years ago when inhabited by Creek Indians. First acquainted with the mound in 1936, Coe has spent much of his life researching and overseeing the restoration of the area. The landmark is now open to the public.
