Summer Solstice Walks with special guest Dennis Peterson
June 21, 11 a.m.–9 p.m.
Event Navigation
Start your summer with a trip to Spiro Mounds Archaeological Center for two Summer Solstice Walks on Saturday, June 21, one day after the summer solstice. Two walks will occur at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Each walk will include one mile of easy walking and last about two hours.
Learn the reasons for the mounds and how some are aligned to track the sun’s movement throughout the year. The 7 p.m. walk will allow the observation of twilight wildlife and a view of the sunset at the mounds site, which is the most important part of the event.
No reservations needed except for large groups. The center is located three miles east of Spiro on Highway 9/271 and four miles north on Lock and Dam Road. If you need further information about the Summer Solstice Walks, please call 918-962-2062.
