About the Business
The C.H. Nash Museum at Chucalissa, located in Memphis, Tennessee, offers a unique opportunity to step back in time and explore the vibrant culture of Native Americans who lived in the region 500 to 1,000 years ago. Visitors can tour a fully furnished replica house, hike the nature trail through the arboretum, and view drone footage of the Chucalissa National Historic Landmark. Operated by the University of Memphis, the museum also features exhibits on the prehistoric and historic occupations of the region, a hands-on archaeology laboratory, and a certified arboretum showcasing plant species used for medicinal and other ancient purposes. The site, which includes earthen mounds believed to have been constructed by the Mississippian culture, serves as a training ground for archaeologists and a place for the public to learn more about the science of archaeology. Plan a trip today to discover the rich history of the Mid-South and immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the Native Americans who once called this area home.
Reviews
"It's a little hard to give anything other than one star when they are not even open during their posted hours. I got lost today (Wednesday) trying to find the place. After a hour of driving around and trying to call their office (there was no answer) I finally reached their gate at 3:30pm. The gate was locked. Their hours as outlined on their own website is 9am-4:30pm Tuesday through Saturday with last admission being at 4:00pm. So I would recommend NOT coming here as obviously your time will be wasted. I hope the park closes and the staff lose their jobs."
"Great little slice of history here that doesn't get enough publicity!! Sorry interesting stop and provides a lot of history about the site and the area. Kids really enjoyed the hands-on lab where they got to touch everything from the weapons to the pottery to fossils and baskets. We really had a good time checking this out. Can highly recommend checking this out of you're in the area."
"What a great experience for children. Shilling Farms Elementary School extended the learning experience by visiting the Indian artifact museum. Long distance, but well worth the drive. There is a small gift shop. And a hands on exhibit for the children to touch and feel and create conversations. Also the scavenger hut had them reading exhibits, reading questions and searching for answers - great group cooperation. They were also able to hand make pottery bowls to take home. Great Field-Trip!"
"Very nice view of ancient Native American grounds. Great nature walk. Informative displays and a good video show."
"Had a blast! Very informative on the Mississippi Valley Tribes, especially the Chactaw. The nature trails are great too. Can't wait to return."
