Randolph County's Indian Mound
In southern Randolph County, tucked away in a secluded field, in the flood plain of a tributary of Deep River, sits this Indian mound. It is about a 20 minute walk from the nearest paved road. On this morning walk I joined 2 friends for the short journey to this special place. Entering a large secluded field, the mound is unmistakeable. Atop the mound is a family cemetery, still in use, with about a dozen marked and a dozen unmarked graves. Some trees grow from the mound now but it is surrounded by open field adjacent to a flowing creek.
