Pretty cool place. You can feel the history there
Interesting place and the views from atop mound 54 were amazing. The interpretive center hours seem short for a Sunday as they closed at 3... precisely, so you're left trying to figure it out in your own. If you're into hiking, nice venue as there are lots of trails.
It was super fun! It would be a really productive run to go up these hills
