Across the river are the remains of an 800-year old town built by ancient Native American Indians. Almost surrounded by the river, it was also guarded by a high palisade wall. A large temple mound and several smaller mounds surrounded an open plaza. Archeologists believe this town had important political and ceremonial functions. It is currently owned by the State of Tennessee.
