Frommer's Review
The Chucalissa Archaeological Museum is built on the site of a Mississippian-period (A.D. 900-1600) Native American village. Dioramas and displays of artifacts discovered in the area provide a cultural history of Mississippi River Valley Native Americans. The reconstructed village includes several family dwellings, a shaman's hut, and a chief's temple atop a mound in the center of the village compound. The chance to walk through a real archaeologist's trench and to explore a Native American village thrills most children. Allow 1 to 2 hours.
