This Historic Resource Study (HRS) records the cultural history of Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park, a unit of the National Park Service located in central Georgia. Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park protects, honors, and interprets the archeological and historical features associated with human occupation of this site, which dates to 10,000 BCE. Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park not only contains American Indian built features but also includes Civil War and Works Progress Administration era historic resources The HRS is the primary document used by the National Park Service (NPS) to identify and manage the historic resources within a park. It provides a historical overview of a park and identifies and evaluates a park’s cultural resources within historic contexts. An HRS synthesizes all readily available cultural resource information from all disciplines in a narrative designed to serve managers, planners, interpreters, cultural resource specialists, and interested public as a reference for the history of the region and historic resources within the park. The HRS provides informative material for additional nominations to the National Register of Historic Places. It also identifies needs for further research through special history studies, historic structure reports, archeological investigations, or other detailed studies.
