Hiking at Poverty Point World Heritage Site Experts called American Indian archaeological site Poverty Point “the New York City of 1400 B.C.” for good reason. As an absolutely enormous trading center on the Mississippi River, this site in Northwest Louisiana brought in artifacts carried from over a thousand miles away. Come see a 72-foot tall bird-shaped mound and concentric ridges that measure up to three-fourths of a mile apart—all built by hand. View exotic artifacts up close at Poverty Point World Heritage Site. Learn more of the story at the on-site museum, and then walk or take a guided tour to the manmade hills and ridges overlooking picturesque Bayou Maçon. Begin your Poverty Point journey by visiting PovertyPoint.us.
