Some time ago, I posted a note to your cache page requesting a response from you to post what you were planning to do with the cache on the page and to send me a note. I have no record of a response, and no response tells me that you are not planning on replacing or repairing this cache. If I am wrong with that assumption, please let me know promptly.

Geocache Description:

This cache is located at Hampson Archeological Museum State Park at the request of Arkansas State Parks. The park is located in Wilson, Arkansas.

Hampson State Park conserves and exhibits the archeological collections from the Nodena site, a 15-acre palisaded village that once thrived on a meander bend of the Mississippi River in what is today Mississippi County. Hampson Archeological Museum interprets the lifestyles of this farming-based civilization that lived there from 1400 to 1650 A.D. Artifacts and exhibits share the story of this early aboriginal population of farmers who cultivated crops and supplemented their food resources with hunting native game while developing its art, religion and political structure along with a thriving trading network.

This remarkable site owes its preservation to the late Dr. James K. Hampson and family.

The museum is open 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday; 1 p.m. – 5 p.m. Sunday.
It’s closed on Mondays (except for Monday holidays), New Year’s Day, Thanksgiving Day and noon Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Museum entrance fees are $2.50 per adult and $1.50 per child (6-12). Admission is free the first Sunday of each month.

Adjacent to the museum are shaded picnic sites and a playground.

For more information, please visit www.ArkansasStateParts.com or www.HistoryStateParks.com.

Many thanks to Marlon D. Mowdy, park superintendent and Amber Davis, museum program assistant for their help in placing this cache.
