Caddo Indian Burial Mounds

Caddo Indian Burial Mounds
Alto, Texas
December 27, 2010


This historical site was located just minutes down the highway
from Mission State Park. The site includes a visitors center with
displays, exhibits and a small gift shop. There is usually an
admission charge but the attendant was out to lunch. We waited a bit
and then went and explored the site.

A walking trail guides visitors around the earthern mounds

There are three burial mounds and are just a short walk away
from each other on a nice path with interactive panels.

My kids really liked this site. There wasn't much too it, but they
found the idea that hundreds of Indians and their posessions were
buried under the mounds was facinating.

Well worth the stop.
