The Mystery of Town Creek
Channel - TownCreek Indian Mound
Town Creek Indian Mound (31 MG 2)[2] is a prehistoric Native American archaeological site located near present-day Mount Gilead, Montgomery County, North Carolina, in the United States.[3] The site, whose main features are a platform mound with a surrounding village and wooden defensive palisade, was built by the Pee Dee, a South Appalachian Mississippian culture people (a regional variation of the Mississippian culture)[4] that developed in the region as early as 980 CE.[5] They thrived in the Pee Dee River region of North and South Carolina during the Pre-Columbian era. The Town Creek site was an important ceremonial site occupied from about 1150—1400 CE. It was abandoned for unknown reasons.[4] It is the only ceremonial mound and village center of that culture located within North Carolina.[4]
The Pee Dee were part of a larger complex society known for building earthwork mounds for spiritual and political purposes. They participated in a widespread network of trading that stretched from Georgia through South Carolina, eastern Tennessee, and as well as the mountain and Piedmont regions of North Carolina. The Town Creek site is not large by Mississippian standards. The earthwork mound was built over the remains of a rectangular-shaped earth lodge. The site was declared a National Historic Landmark on October 15, 1966 as reference number 66000594.[1]

Town Creek Indian Mound, North Carolina - Travels With Phil
The Town Creek Indian Mound is located near the community of Mount Gilead in North Carolina. Here is the write-up from the state historical website:. . . .. For more than a thousand years, Indians lived an agricultural life on the lands that became known as North Carolina. About the 11th century A.D., a new cultural tradition emerged in the Pee Dee River Valley. That new culture, called Pee Dee by archaeologists, was part of a widespread tradition known as South Appalachian Mississippian. Throughout Georgia, South Carolina, eastern Tennessee, western North Carolina, and the southern North Carolina Piedmont, the new culture gave rise to complex societies. These inhabitants built earthen mounds for their spiritual and political leaders, engaged in widespread trade, supported craft specialists, and celebrated a new kind of religion.

TOWN CREEK INDIAN MOUND--HD--Narrated
In 1995 my son and I went to Town Creek Indian Mound. I have decided to up-convert my video which I made of Town Creek Indian Mound, to the widescreen format. I also narrated it again. The Indians settled in the Town Creek area sometime between 1000 AD and 1500 AD. No one is sure exactly when. This video shows some of the artifacts from that time, as well as earlier artifacts which go back to Paleo Indian times. No one can be sure just how early, man settled in America. The earliest artifacts are Pre-Clovis and Clovis points and go back 14,000 years (12,000 BC) and more. One of the most coveted arrowheads is the Hardaway-Dalton which goes back to 12,000 BC and earlier. This video shows some of these artifacts as well as the later Archaic Period points and artifacts.

Town Creek Indian Mound is a powerful place!
Town Creek Indian Mound is an unusual phenomenon in the history of North American archaeology. While most archaeological sites are investigated for a few years before archaeologists move on to new locations, Town Creek, situated on Little River (a tributary of the Great Pee Dee in central North Carolina), has been the focus of a consistent program of archaeological research for more than half a century. This research has contributed to scientific understanding of the original inhabitants of our continent and has provided educational opportunities for many graduate and undergraduate students in anthropology. Moreover, these contributions to science and higher education were made as the site contributed directly to public education.

Mount Gilead, North Carolina Motorcycle Ride
Mount Gilead North Carolina Motorcycle Ride - Episode #3. I ride my motorcycle to Mount Gilead, North Carolina and visit the Town Creek Indian Mound. Then, I visit the town of Mount Gilead and learn more about its history and the murals painted around town. While in town I stop by and visit with Adam and Michelle Barringer. We talk about modern homesteading and their lifestyle brand, Farm Life Outfitters.
My last stop is at Morrow Mountain State Park, next to the PeeDee River and Lake Tillery. Morrow Mountain is an active site for human habitation going back at least 12,000 years. I get the chance to learn more about Rhyolite and rock knapping. This is another chapter in Our North Carolina story.

Trace: Town Creek Indian Mound and the Rise of Scientific Archaeology in North Carolina
When a student archaeologist was dropped off in a Montgomery County cotton field in 1937 to investigate a problematic Indian mound, there’s no way he could have known the project would last 50 years. Joffre Lanning Coe would develop academic archaeology in North Carolina and establish the state’s only historical site dedicated to archaeology at Town Creek. But just down the road, a town doctor was busy becoming one of the most prolific artifact collectors of his generation. Clifton Dowell earned his Certificate in Documentary Arts from CDS in 2007. He works as a journalist in Raleigh.

Our Visit to Town Creek Indian Mound
On Saturday, 3/11/17, I took my family on a trip to visit the Town Creek Indian Mound. It is part of an effort of the American Muurish Research Initiative (AMRI) to explore our American Muurish Heritage. The information about the site is in a book called, PYRAMIDS IN AMERICA by Dr. R.A. Umar Shabazz Bey (Br. Umar) of the Empire Washitaw De Dugahmoundyah group (Washitaw Muurs)
Viewing the Town Creek Indian Mound and Museum
A day-trip Carole and I took to see the Town Creek Indian Mound and Museum which is located not terribly far from where we live. There aren't a lot of existing Native American mounds left in North Carolina. This one was in a farmer's field and largely intact when it was purchased and preserved. It was excavated. Completely turned from top to base. After artifacts were removed and preserved it was rebuilt.
Today the site is a representation of the stockade form that is supposed was at the site. The museum is excellent. There's very little Native American culture remaining in a preserved state here in North Carolina, so this site is a pleasant surprise.
A visit to the Kron House, Morrow Mountain State Park
We always enjoy the visit to the Kron house. The house and doctors office is usually locked. They have it open at this event each year.
