1 Best Sight in The Panhandle, Florida

Heritage Park and Cultural Center

Local Indigenous peoples built a large mound here that is one of the largest prehistoric earthworks on saltwater. The site, which was a center of religious, political, and social activity, is still considered a sacred burial ground. A small museum explains the mound and the people who built it; displays of artifacts and weaponry and hands-on exhibits shed more light on the area's inhabitants between AD 700 and 1500. Admission includes entry to the museum, as well as a restored post office and schoolhouse on the site.
