Nacoochee Indian Mound
(Hwy 17, Nacoochee Valley, GA)
Nacoochee Mound is a burial site, the graves in most probability having been placed there long before the Cherokee Tribe inhabited the area. Excavation between May and October in 1915 unearthed 75 burials. The graves were discovered at varying levels, showing that the burials took place over a number of years.

Nacoochee Indian Mound was the Center of the Ancient Cherokee town of Gauxule, visited by DeSoto in 1540 in his search for gold, according to legend. On this ceremonial mound, 190 feet long, 150 feet wide and 20 feet high, stood the Town House, where a sacred fire burned unceasingly. Ceremonial dances were performed in and around the Town House. Residents of the town lived on the flat land surrounding the mound.
