Florence Indian Mound Museum

Native Americans built the Florence Mound nearly 1700 years ago along the banks of the Tennessee River. Used as a gathering space for ceremonies, the mound has withstood centuries of floods, storms, and human destruction. It stands today as a testament to the Native American people who lived in the Shoals for nearly 10,000 years. The museum at the base of the mound serves as an educational center, bridging cultural practices and bringing people together around a shared sense of humanity. It hosts presentations, workshops, children’s lessons, a native plant garden, & collaborations with Native American tribes and artisans.
