About Kolomoki Mounds

This park preserves one of the largest and earliest Woodland period earthwork mound complexes in the southeastern United States, constructed between 350-600 CE. At its peak, Kolomoki was perhaps the most populous settlement north of Mexico, home to 1,500-2,000 residents. Seven ceremonial mounds include Georgia's oldest great temple mound standing 56 feet high, aligned with astronomical events.
