My next stop in northwestern Alabama takes me to see the Florence Indian Mound. This is a tall solitary mound build near the Tennessee River. This one rises about 42 feet above the surrounding area and covers and area of about an acre and a half at its base. It is believed to have been built around 500 CE in the Woodland period. There is a nice museum built alongside the Native American site, but as my time is limited and with the rain starting again, I limit myself to just taking a few photos of this ancient site.
