A Caddo Indian dugout canoe dating to the early Caddo period, about A.D. 900-1200, was found in the bank of the Red River on the North family property near this location in August 1983. A section of the canoe was discovered protruding from the river bank by John Paul Hobbs, and it was recovered with the assistance of Rose and Kendall Kelly of Dixie and other residents. Archaeologist Clarence Webb led the recovery and restoration process. The canoe is 30 feet 8 inches long and 1 foot 10 inches wide, with side heights ranging from 1 foot 6 inches to 2 feet 4 inches. It is exhibited in the Louisiana State Exhibit Museum in Shreveport. The canoe is contemporary with the Caddo village and mounds located on Mounds Plantation in Dixie.
