This week's trip will highlight the fact that I'm a nerd. I traveled to Scott, AR which is just outside of Little Rock. This was my first visit to Scott but I must say it has some beautiful farm country. Not too far off the interstate you will find the Plantation Agricultural Museum this museum highlights the cotton industry. The museum itself is an old 1912 brick building which is very cool also on the property you can tour the Dortch Gin Building and the Seed Warehouse #5. Walking through the last two buildings in this heat really makes you appreciate being able to work in air conditioned buildings.
Next stop was the Toltec Mounds Archaeological State Park, also located in Scott, AR. Located here you will find Arkansas' tallest American Indian mounds. Three mounds are still visible today these mounds were formed by what archaeologists have named the Plum Bayou tribe. The mounds were built between 700 A.D and 1000 A.D. very little is known about this tribe, here a few pictures of the mounds and the surrounding area.
