Chickamauga Mound, standing 200 feet to the west, is an earthen mound that formed the center of a Woodland-period town between c. 350-900 CE. Indigenous people often built mounds during this period as sacred places to bury their dead. The town also contained households, gardens, public spaces, and additional mounds, most of which were destroyed in the early 1970s by construction of the Roxbury Southern Mills Textile plant. Artifacts and historical records show that indigenous people lived at the mouth of South Chickamauga Creek from c. 8000 BCE until the Removal of 1838.
