Abstract:
The area around Merchants Millpond State Park has built a mighty reputation partly on artifacts aged objects, including a Clovis point 10,000 years old discovered in a field near the pond. The area’s fauna and flora, such as six alligators and two hundred year old Cypress trees, also help to make the lake created in 1811 a must see for 240,000 visitors annually.
