Poverty Point National Monument is an archeological marvel near Pioneer, Louisiana, that dates back approximately 3,000 years. In the past, it was the central hub of a trading network that expanded across the continent; archeologists have discovered raw materials such as stone from the Ouachita and Ozark Mountains (for tools and weapons), soapstone from the Appalachian foothills (used to craft boats) and other materials from the eastern USA. Today, Poverty Point NM is an important window into the history of the region and the people who built and managed it. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The monument is open year-round during regular business hours and has a museum, historical buildings, and picnic areas. The monument staff offer guided tours seasonally on select days during the week and weekends as well as programs and special events. If you'd like to stretch your legs and view the monument on your own, there is a hiking trail that is a few miles in length. The monument is an ideal destination for birding, nature viewing, and photography.
