Description

Stroll through a recreated 15th century Native American village, watch craftspeople make everyday objects from a bygone era and see an actual archaeological dig in progress. Chucalissa is based on an excavation that has revealed much about the lives of the peoples occupying the area on the banks of the Mississippi River for the past 10,000 years. Run by the University of Memphis, this park and museum offer an excellent introduction to the culture of the area's indigenous peoples. Admission: USD5 adults, USD3 children and seniors.
