Pinson Mounds State Archeological Park
Pinson Mounds State Archeological Park is located near the small town of Pinson, Tennessee. Just 13 miles south of Jackson, Tennessee in west Tennessee. This Tennessee State Park is around 1200 acres and contains at least 15 Native American mounds. The mounds and artifacts date back to 300 BC. Pinson Mounds officially became a Tennessee State Park in 1974.
The tallest in the park is Sauls Mound. It is 72 feet high and has 4 corners to it that correspond with North, South, East, and West. In this video, my Mom (Sue) and I (Kay) climb the stairs to the top of Sauls Mound, Walk some of the paths and stop into the visitors' center.
