The 12 Best Things to Do in Natchez, Mississippi in 2025
"I visited the Emerald Mound and found it a striking, flat, grassy pentagon that was once a sacred, elevated place of worship for the Plaquemine Native Americans; constructed sometime between the 13th and 17th centuries, it covers eight acres and stands about 65 feet tall. Archaeological finds like animal bones suggest it was a site of religious or ceremonial activity; the mound is open to the public free of charge from 8am–5pm daily." - Matthew Kepnes
