Summer of Fun 2024

During a trip through Indiana, Laura and I stopped at Angel Mounds State Historic Site near Evansville, Indiana. Here is some of what we saw. As you might guess, we went to Angel Mounds to see mounds, and we were not disappointed in that. There are twelve mounds there, although the largest by far is the mound pictured above, known as Mound A. Mound A is around 600 feet long by 400 feet wide, and is almost 40 feet tall at its highest point. The mounds were built by people of the Mississippian culture between 1000 A.D. and 1450 A.D., so these mounds have been around for a long time.

A covered bridge crosses the Eel river in Roann, Indiana, as seen during a June 2024 visit. The bridge was built in 1877, according to the sign, and still has traffic to this day. I would assume (and hope) that not all of the wood is original, but that does not make the bridge any less interesting to see.
