We took a field trip to Town Creek Indian Mound Historical Site located in Mt. Gilead, NC. This was probably Cassidy's last Summer "free" to hang out with the family, so I dragged her along with us everywhere before the imminent age of sixteen swept her away to driving, a job commitment, etc. She wasn't exactly thrilled about most of it, but ended up having a good time anyway. She didn't "get it", how it is a sad time for a Mom, but she played the "Last Summer" game for me.

The things we were most fascinated by about the Pee-Dee Indians would be the mysteries surrounding their disappearance, the many human burials on the property, and their burial rituals. The boys watched the Mortuary Exhibit over and over. The Indians are burying a three year old child in the exhibit. It is very haunting. I would urge anyone to visit the site and read the history of these people.
