Ranger-guided Hike

To kick off Archaeology Month, on Saturday, Oct. 2, visitors to Poverty Point World Heritage Site are invited to take part in a ranger-led hike showcasing the mounds, earthworks, and nature found in the park. Visitors will also be visiting an active excavation on site if weather and scheduling allows. Participants will meet in the museum at 10 a.m. for an introductory video; the hike can take up to three hours to complete, depending on the pace of the group. Be advised that this program is weather permitting; please wear appropriate clothing and footwear.

At this time, it?s recommended that visitors wear masks and practice social distancing to participate.
