We are just west of Memphis. This park has an unusual history. It was the first state park east of the Mississippi open to African Americans. The park was constructed by an all black unit of the CCC In 1938. During the construction of the park, specifically, the swimming pool, evidence was found that the site was an ancient Indian village. There is a large mound of earth and evidence that the area was inhabited for many millenia. Sadly, we need to move on. We will be gone tomorrow.
Sadly, all journeys must come to an end. Have fun unpacking at seaths
