- #ocmulgeenationalmonument #ocmulgeemounds #maconga We often hear of these "hidden treasures" in our RV travels. The Ocmulgee Nation Monument is definitely one of those rare locations offering a walk through amazing native American history, museum dedicated to the site and hiking along a wide range of nature trails. The National Monument is located in the center of Macon, GA minutes from the intersection of I-75 and I-16 This location had over 17,000 years of continuous human habitation from the Paleo-Indian period until the removal of the Muscogee Creek Indian during the Trail of Tears in 1836.
Today the Ocmulgee Nation Monument offers trails along these great mounds ranging from 1/4 of a mile to a mile. Along these trails, visitors can see history spanning over thousands of years from the ancient mounds, to Civil War earthworks, as well as enjoying nature along the wetlands. The museum contains over 2,000 artifacts discovered on the site dating form 10,000 BC to the 1800's. My favorite is entering the Earth Lodge. This lodge is the only one know in existance and the earthen lodge floor has been carbon dated to the year 1015.
The Ocmulgee Nation Monument is a great location for a short stop or a day trip. For more information, visit the National Park website at:

There are numerous RV sites from seasoned full-timers to wide ranging forums. Joan and I want to share a different perspective of RV living - where we started, where we’ve been and what we’ve done to make our RV life more enjoyable. We’ll take you from purchase to trips to those changes and additions to make our RV home. So welcome, stay awhile, share and we hope we’ll see you soon.
When I was younger our teacher took us here for our Field trip and we learned a lot about our history.
It’s a very special place.
Hawkinsville Prek Went here today. They had a field trip there and it was so cool. I've learned about alot of places I've never heard of going on field trips with my kids over the years and I'm glad now that I'm grown and gave my own They still allow parents and friends to go along
I remember coming here elementary school bring back a lot of memories
It’s a special place.
I honestly can't thank you enough for taking the time to to make this extremely well made video of this breath taking place. I'd been planning to visit there with my kid and my brother soon and this video has literally made me so excited now that I'm having a hard time not jumping in the car and going right now..lol.. I'm part Cherokee and I've always felt such a connection to all of the tribes of Native Americans and their histories. The things that they were forced to endure and experience because of immigrants from Europe, seriously breaks my heart in such a way that I sometimes feel as if I am feeling their pain and loss personally 💔💔😢😢.. However, when I see people like u, who hold them in such high respect and reverence, I feel like maybe some of the hurt is being healed, and that those natives soul's that aren't at rest and possibly still linger in places like this one, may find their peace and eternal rest at last. So I am utterly grateful for the beautifully loving souls, such as yourself, because this world has been in short supply of such people for far too long. Please keep doing what you're doing because you have no idea how much you're helping this world in more ways than u know. MUCH LOVE AND INFINITE BLESSINGS TO YOU MY FRIEND 💖 💖🙏 🙏✌ ✌👏👏
You'll have a great visit here. This is another interesting place to visit ua-cam.com/video/yHMFTDC4S_o/v-deo.html
You took the words out of my mouth. Choctaw and Cherokee. Been wanting to go for wfew years. Nobody around me seems to see the value in a visit... and I don’t drive anymore, UNLESS I have my car converted to drive using my hands
Thank you
WOW!!! This is soooo interesting. Thank you for sharing this. Safe travels.
Thanks. This a special place. One of our favorites.
The railroad tracks is what gave us the freedom and security to visit and speculate about the everyday life of these early Americans.
Thank you very much for the great content
Thanks You.
I see several comments about field trips when people were kids and their teachers took them to this place & I remember being taken there in the 5th grade in 1954 when I was a student at Pearl Stephens School in Macon! Good memories!
It’s a very unique place. Agree, great memories. Thanks for watching.
Visited yesterday. Great complex. Thanks for your video
Thanks for watching. It is a great place.
Great share of powerful site! 😎 🇺🇸
Thanks for watching.
My grandparents brought me there on a trip in the mid-seventies from Southern New Jersey. I’ll never forget it. It was cool to see the place again. Thank you!
So glad you found the video. Such an interesting place. Hope you get a chance to come back.
I went to the mounds in the early 1960s while in grade school. I think I was in the 3rd grade in Warner Robins, so that would make it 1963. It was a school field trip. I remember going into the mound, it had a railing in a circle to keep you out of the fire pit area. I am 68 now. It still fascinates me.
Hi Lynne, if you get a chance go back. They’ve made a large addition to the museum. And always a treat to return to the big Temple Mound.
I really appreciate you took this video. I love things like this and as a full time caregiver I can't travel or get out of the house much so this helps bring things to me. thank you for sharing!
Hi Cathy. So glad we could share our travels. Jerry....
I just found this and I'm retired so guess what I'm going to DO :) Im only about an hour and a half away from Macon so I'm putting this on my " to do " list in the next week,,,, :) Thanks so much for sharing this!
Glad you found us Tim. Hope you get a chance to come. It’s an amazing place.
@@iLoveRVlife I'm gonna do it! :)
Wonderful
Thank you.
This was a great video! Thanks so much. I love mounds and hope to visit as many as I can! It was great being able to visit virtually.
Beautiful video ...thank you. On my list to see. Happy Trails;-)
Thanks much.
Visited there today. Thank you for sharing your video.
Glad you could go. A very different view into the history of the area. A favorite spot.
we're doing this today, Dec 26, 2020. you are our official Macon tour guide!
Yeah. Hope you all had fun.
I wish we learned more about the pre-Columbian history of our country in school. So many Americans have the idea that it was just sparsely populated villages of tipis and totem poles from coast to coast. They don't realise there were walled towns with moats and watchtowers, massive earthen pyramids, brick apartment buildings, towns built of stone right into cliff sides, etc.
Me too. This is a great location and the museum provides a wealth of information about the area.
Wonderful tour. Thank you.
Thanks Jean.
Btw, next time you decide to visit there, please come get me. Lost half a leg in a wheelchair but learning to use a prosthetic . Do, I won’t be too much trouble. 😊
Loved the tour, thanks!
Thanks Liz. Glad you liked it.
Well done. I however don't agree with their Timeline, it is far older.
Thanks. An amazing place.
What did you do hide the black bag an my picture album in the mounds it smells just like that cyber creek water an wood stalkers... Jump fence an hide out..
Thank you
You're welcome
