Sit back and learn about the earthworks and the individuals who built them on a ranger-guided tram tour of the site. Learn how to use an Atlatl, a tool used by the native people of Poverty Point to launch spears or darts for hunting. Get your hands dirty water-screening excavated soil while learning about archaeology from the Poverty Point Station archaeologists. Young visitors can also become a Louisiana Office of State Parks Junior Ranger - a program designed for children seven years and older who are interested in learning more about the outdoors and activities available at Louisiana’s State Parks and Historic Sites.
