Day 1 June 7, 2019! We were off for a grand adventure. Myself and 3 of my children were crossing the United States to California to see my marine son.

| Welcome Center - Ocmulgee Mounds National Historic Park |
This was
a great first stop. It took us a little
over two hours to arrive. Ocmulgee is
located at 1207 Emery Highway in Macon, GA.
It’s the perfect price range for
our family: FREE.
The first thing we did was check out the
visitor center. Our park ranger was very
knowledgeable and welcoming. She really
knew her history. Before you go, visit
their website by clicking Ocmulgee. It
will give you great information on the history and the trails available to walk
while you are visiting. I learned a lot
just checking out the National Park Service websites while planning our
adventure. I printed out the things I
wanted to share with the kiddos on the way before we got there. We also looked at the different trails ahead
of time to decide which trails we wanted to walk while we were there.
According to the website, this was the largest Archaelogical dig in American History. The mounds were for the elite of their tribes. We learned about the Mississippian period and the Creek Indians, and so much more.

I’ll probably say this at all the stops, but
this is one I’d return to and hike more trails. It’s a pretty area, close to the city, and
not too far from home. The adventure continues.....
