Town Creek Indian Mound, an archaeological site at 509 Town Creek Mound Road in Gilead that lets visitors explore the life of the Pee Dee Indians, is hosting “Play in the Clay” Day on Saturday, August 9th, 2014, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “Play in a medium that’s as old as dirt! See how the Pee Dee Culture utilized the clay around them. Try your hand at marking a small piece of pottery, help us daub the East Lodge walls, and witness the role ‘red earth’ plays in building dugout canoes. Free, and open to the public.”
