Temple Mound a Monument
to Pasco's Native History
The associated burial
mound was destroyed by area development in the 1950s, the Oelsner Mound is
Florida’s best preserved example of a temple mound.
Just another village,
cemetery, native American way of life destroyed by progress.
Along the southern bank
of the Pithlachascotee River and Sunset Boulevard, is one of the oldest
historic sites in Port Richey.
The Eschaskotes Mound
site or Oelsner Mound.
The Eschaskotes Mound
site is an archaeological legacy spanning more than a century of their lives on
Mother Earth.
132 years after it was
first excavated, it is merely a fraction of its original size, the burial mound
was destroyed by area development.
It would be interesting
to find out if native Americans around this area have been able to pray for
their directions at this sacred site of the ancestors?
