  • This site in texas is wonderful and gorgeous. Though a tornado had ripped through it in 2019, it is coming back strong. There are three mounds on site and a borrow pit. They are still in a trailer for the visitor center until the new one is done. it is still a nice place to visit and learn about one site that connects to a great deal of history and the culture of the Caddo Nation. I will certainly be back! The staff was super friendly and helpful too!
  • Great place with super friendly staff. Nice walking path and very educational signs all around. My wife and I had a wonderful time exploring. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area. They have a golf cart avaliable to use, if you're pressed for time
  • Nice place to visit. They are in the middle of building a new museum. They still have some artifacts on display. The lady there was super nice and welcoming. Our kids enjoyed the courtesy golf cart ride around the mounds.(on the trail). There is a gift shop area as well.
  • My husband and I stopped in and spent some time walking the path around the Caddo Indian Mounds. It was very interesting. We learned lots. Family friendly and worth the stop.
  • Staff member was extremely welcoming. I enjoyed the easy viewing of mounds via golf cart. Appreciate the opportunity to view and learn of history at this site. Other sites should follow your lead.
