Abstract:

Approximately five miles east of Mt. Gilead stands a modest museum containing artifacts from a Native American settlement, believed to be inhabited prior to or during the fifteenth century. The settlement, containing hearth remains, earthen mounds and burial plots, probably served some 1,500 to 2,000 residents.
