The Florence Indian Mound Museum is hosting a series of children’s programs where students can explore the early history of the Shoals through hands-on learning exercises. The programs will cover a wide range of topics within Native American history and culture and are aimed at an elementary level age group. Each program will have a creative component with hands-on learning, and all events are free.

The program in June will focus on archaeology of Native American sites, with an emphasis on cooperation with the Tribes. Part of the program will deal with archaeological stewardship—what to do if you find an artifact, etc.

This program is recommended for students ages 7-12. It is sponsored by the Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area and the Kennedy-Douglass Volunteers.
