HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Here in the Piney woods the Caddo Indians used to thrive around the area. You can see their huts they made with cane, and you can see where the Caddos cultivated the land, made pottery and traded with the mound-builder tribes around the area. If you want to learn more visit the Caddoan Mound State Historical Park.
