University of Tennessee Agriculture Farm Mound

The site is a burial mound made by people of the Woodland period and has been dated as early as 644 AD.[1] Today, the site is a landmark on the University of Tennessee campus and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.[3] In 2011, a garden was built around the site to protect it from "construction damage" [4] and attract interest and attention to the mound.[1] The president of the Tennessee Chapter of Gamma Sigma Delta (The Honor Society of Agriculture), Fred Allen, proposed the project to the UT Chapter in 2008 "as a long term service project to enhance the educational opportunities and aesthetic beauty of the site".Principal Chief Michell Hicks attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and elder Mertyl Driver blessed the site.
