Upstream at Pott's Branch across from the Cowee Mound, LTLT protected another floodplain subdivision lot between NC Hwy 28 and the Little Tennessee River. This acquisition, adjacent to nine floodplain RV lots LTLT purchased in February 2010, will provide an excellent place for the public to safely pull off of the highway and view the Mound. LTLT plans to construct an educational kiosk at the site in the coming months. The kiosk will have panels in both English and Cherokee and tell the history of the Mound and the Cowee settlement, one of the largest Cherokee towns during the 1700s.
