The National Park Service (NPS) is examining whether certain lands in and around Ocmulgee National Monument (park) are appropriate to be included in a boundary expansion to the monument. The park was authorized by Congress in 1934 to protect "lands commonly known as the 'Old Ocmulgee Fields,' upon which certain Indian mounds of great historical importance are located.
The role of the Ocmulgee National Monument is to "present a story of many stages of prehistoric cultural development, emphasizing the influences of agriculture, the Mound Builder period, and the relationship of these various cultures to each other and to life today."
