Meeting Room

Learn about local Native American history with guest speaker(s) from Angel Mounds.

In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, there will be a special presentation about local Native American History including information from the Angel Mounds site in Evansville and also the Mann Site located in Posey County. 

"Located on the banks of the Ohio River near Evansville, IN, the Angel Mounds State Historic Site boasts a unique combination of nature, history, and archeological wonders sure to entertain all visitors. From 1000-1450 A.D., the area was the site of a Middle Mississippian culture town where the cultivation and storage of corn allowed a permanent community to persist. The town’s inhabitants left by 1450 A.D. for reasons unknown, although it was possibly due to nutrient-depleted soils or lack of wild game. " - Angel Mounds State Historic Site (U.S. National Park Service)
