Angel Mounds State Historic Site, Evansville

The museum was very informative and the staff was friendly. The descriptions were very well done and I learned a lot. The mounds and grounds are very easy to see and are all within a short walk on the trails. Unfortunately, many of the museum descriptions and information pieces were very difficult to read. The lighting was not very good. I found myself trying to move to the side a lot to get out of my own shadow to read. I spoke with a staff member and she acknowledged the problem. She explained that they were given a grant for LED lighting but they kept overheating and shutting off. She said they were searching for funding to redo all of the lighting and possibly even the 17 year old displays entirely. She said the 11 state historic sites need about a million more per year to maintain what they have. So, buy a souvenir and help em out! If this review was helpful, please give it a 👍.

Pretty historic place with trails around the park to bike, run or jog. People bring their dog for a walk around the park. Didn't get to visit the main building as it shuts down at 5. There's a mound across the parking lot don't miss to see it on your way in
