Spring Creek flows past Sellers Farm State Archaeological Area in Lebanon, Tennessee.
As you may recall from the earlier Sellers Farm post, I had gone there to see the native mound, but the path along Spring Creek turned out to be the bigger attraction to me. And it was a very photogenic creek, too.
Recently, we took a day trip to Middle Tennessee. Laura was going to a baby shower, and I went along for the trip, too. While she was showering, I went to a nearby park, Sellers Farm State Archaeological Area, in Lebanon. It had a nice trail and some interesting features, so here are some photos.
The main feature of the area is a mound from the Mississippian period, thought to be built around 1300 AD, or maybe a little earlier. It was not quite as large as some of the other mounds we have seen, such as Sauls’ Mound at Pinson Mounds in Tennessee. But it is still always interesting to me to see these remnants from ancient societies.
