Georgia -- Antiquities; Mounds -- Georgia; Ocmulgee National Monument (Ga.)
The museum and administration building are open from 8:30 a. m. to 5 p.
m. during the week, and on Sundays from 9 a. m. to 5:30 p. m. A fee of
25 cents covers admission to the museum and earthlodge but is waived for
children under 12, organized educational groups, and members of the U.
S. Armed Forces in recreational or educational groups sponsored by
military centers, the USO, or like organizations. The exhibits are
simply and clearly explained so that the services of a guide are
unnecessary, but every attention is given to the particular needs of
organizations and special groups when arrangements are made in advance
with the superintendent. Free literature and other publications are
available. Interested students are welcome to the use of the library,
access to the collections, and the assistance of an archeologist. The
visiting hours of the museum do not apply to the monument area, which is
open at all times.
Administration
Ocmulgee National Monument is administered by the National Park Service
of the United States Department of the Interior. A superintendent, whose
address is Macon, Ga., is in immediate charge.
