Quick Facts

History & Context

Okaloosa County Temple Mound Museum: The Temple Mound Museum in downtown Fort Walton Beach is one of the few large mounds found along the Florida gulf coast panhandle that still remain today. Most were destroyed about 100 years ago to make lime. Fortunately, this one remains with an excellent museum. On top of the mound is a rebuilt temple structure. The mound was believed to have been occupied from 350 BC until the Europeans arrived in the 16th century. Mysterious jar found in the area is the center attraction in the museum. It makes a good cover for "Archaeology of Precolumbian Florida" by Jerald T. Milanich, which will tell you more about the Mississippian Culture in Florida.
