Jim David, Superintendent of the Ocmulgee National Monument, toured the monument and talked about some of the objects that were uncovered during a large-scale archaeological dig in the 1930s. Ocmulgee National Monument is an area that preserves traces of over ten millennia of Southeastern Native American culture, including major earthworks built more than 1,000 years ago by the South Appalachian Mississippian culture. These include the Great Temple and other ceremonial mounds, a burial mound, and defensive trenches. The site has evidence of “17,000 years of continuous human habitation.”

C-SPAN’s Local Content Vehicles (LCVs) made a stop in their “2014 LCV Cities Tour” in Macon, Georgia, from January 20-23 to feature the history and literary life of the community. Working with the Cox Communications local affiliate, they visited literary and historic sites where local historians, authors, and civic leaders were interviewed. close
