Fort Walton Mound
Fort Walton Temple Mound
A ceremonial temple mound built about 800 years ago by the Mississippian culture; the adjacent museum displays Indigenous pottery from the Gulf Coast.
The Fort Walton Temple Mound is a flat-topped ceremonial mound built by the Mississippian culture around 1300 CE. It is about 4 metres tall and is one of the best-preserved on the Gulf Coast, designated a National Historic Landmark. The adjacent Indian Temple Mound Museum displays thousands of pieces of locally excavated pottery and tools. The same site has an old schoolhouse, a camp village and other small history exhibits, all covered by one ticket. It is located in downtown Fort Walton Beach and is good for a rainy day.
