Nola.com has recently released this article which talks about a historical landmark near a present-day village named Epps which is located in West Carroll Parish. Why would you want to take a trip there? A story of history and still many questions that this area holds. Researchers have found that the area dates back “to a time in which an ancient civilization of American Indian hunter-gathers built and lived among a series of massive earthworks along the Mississippi River”.

Nola.com goes on to explain, “Though unprotected for years — plowed over by farmers, looted by collectors and overlooked by experts — the site is now safeguarded and under study by archeologists. Visitors can tour an interpretive center, where a number of artifacts from the site are on view, and take a guided tour of the mounds. It is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily except on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day”.
