What was the Town Creek Indian mound?
The Town Creek Indian Mound, situated in Montgomery County on the Little River, was used as a  ceremonial and political center as well as habitation site around 1200 A.D.  The Creek Indian inhabitants represented a new cultural tradition in the area, which archaeologists named  “Pee Dee” because of its location in the Pee Dee River Valley.
