Never hunted for arrowheads there.

I remember that in 1966, the EF-5 tornado that took out a lot of the city went right over the mound.

My ex-wife's grandmother lived there and the tornado took out all of the houses directly across the street from her place, but almost didn't touch her house.

I think burnett's mound was also a Native American burial site.
