Ocmulgee Mounds, a site in central Georgia with 12,000 years of Indigenous history, may be on the verge of becoming the newest U.S. national park. This is the flagship designation of the National Park Service system, which includes many types of properties in addition to formally designated national parks.
Although this redesignation may not include much change for the site itself, it could mean quite a lot to visitors, supporters and locals alike.
