The museum houses interpretative exhibits depicting more than 12,000 years of Native American occupation. Thousands of artifacts of stone, bone, clay and shell are here, as well as one of the finest collections of prehistoric ceramics in the Southeastern United States. Exhibits also include artifacts from the European Explorers, local pirates, and early settlers. I would say it was a phenomenal experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Paid only like $5 to get in all 3 Sections. Take your time to appreciate its beauty. Staff was very friendly.

I’ve been to a lot of Indian mounds across the Southeastern United States & this is one of my favorites! Great for kids & adults! The museum had several interactive exhibits as well as a wide assortment of Indian relics & artifacts. The staff was very friendly & knowledgeable. Also the gift shop has everything from post cards to research books. Highly recommend!!!

We had planned on visiting the museum, but while we were waiting for the rest of our group, they rudely refused to let my toddler use the restroom, and tried to send us around the block. I was shocked at the lack of compassion for a little one about to wet himself. We decided to go elsewhere instead.

Great little piece of history. I have been to Cahokia and love to see all of the mounds in the other areas. Loved talking to staff in the school house and learning more about the history of the Fort Walton.

As a Native American this was very nicely preserved!! Loved spending a bit of time with my daughter, reflecting on the Native history in this area!!! We're Eastern Band Cherokee from Qualla Boundary Reservation in Cherokee NC.

It was very interesting place. They have an old style school house and the man there was so knowledgeable and took time to explain things to my grandchildren. Would very much recommend this place.

Friendly employees, knowledgeable.Interesting history on Natives and the original mounds found here. Old school house. Indian artifacts found in mound were interesting.Down side, very small so if someone buys tickets right behind you they are following you all along and makes you feel little rushed. Price, 5.00,is fine. But I've been to bigger places for free. But overall something different to do other than beach stuff.

Great stop with a variety of local history of indigenous people and artifacts as well as early settlers. The friendly guide in the schoolhouse was really interesting and informative.

This museum was just hard to get into over the years and this time we nailed it. I brought a place in Fort Walton Beach about 6 years ago and I love it. I had gone by here so many times and closed or busy. This displays are spot on and the staff are all knowledgeable about the facts and displays too. We spent about 2 hours going through the museum and I think most people will enjoy the experience.

Came here on a Thursday morning and it got busy pretty quickly! The staff was great, they have a nice gift shop. We didn't go through the museum because we had to get back to our hotel but we did buy some cool stuff to support them, including a beautiful ring. The Mound was magical and felt like we stepped back in time just from simply looking at it.I love everything Native American and will always support anything I can.

I thought I was 1/8 Native American until 2 different DNA tests told me otherwise. One useless fact later.... this place is an unexpected delight in the middle of a concrete jungle. The artifacts have a distinct Incan vibe. The modern Freemason temple across the street from this historic temple indicates that there's more value to this location that is likely not fully understood by the average visitor. Hidden gem if you ask me. Be sure to support the site and locals through the gift shop.

No one is ever here. Been here three times now and its never open. Probably a super awesome place. Sad that it's most likely been flipped three times by locals in the past. We should preserve indigenous peoples history better and be more responsible. Makes me wonder how much they give a damn about what's inside the museum let alone what's behind the scenes we never hear about.
