Winter Solstice Walks
December 21, 2011 11am, 2pm & 7pm
Spiro Mounds Archaeological Center
Spiro, OK
Archaeologist and manager, Dennis Peterson, will lead guided tours starting at 11am, 2pm and 7pm. Each walk will take about two hours and require a mile of easy walking. Mr. Peterson will tell about this unique prehistoric Native American mound site, the types of mounds, why they were created and why some of the mounds are lined up for the sunsets of the Solstices and Equinoxes. He will tell the history of the excavations, Native American ceremonies and stories, and about the unusual happenings associated with the mounds. For those wishing to see the sunset, the 2pm walk will end just about sunset, which is when the alignment will take place. Come out to experience one of the most unique historical sites in the United States as seen through the eyes of an archaeologist.
There is a small fee for this series of tours: $3 for adults and $2 for children. No reservations are required unless you are bringing a big group. Be certain to dress for the weather.
The Center is located 3 miles east of Spiro on Highway 9/271 and 4 miles north of Lock and Dam Road. If you need more information, please call (918)962-2062. |
