    Also known as Fewkes Group Archaeological Site, Boiling Springs Mounds is a Native American Archaeological Site. Between 1000-1450, two different pre-American groups used to live in the region, in different periods with different traditions. These mounds in the area were used for burials and others for ceremonies; there are five mounds in total. The site is named in honor of Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, the Chief of the Bureau of American Ethnology, who has studied the site.
