“Why did the turtle cross the road?” 🐢
Primarily to find a mate, lay eggs or search for new habitats.

Please slow down and stay alert while driving through the park. Don’t worry about this little one — we waited until it made it safely across the road. What a beautiful turtle.

We’re excited to be part of Leadership Macon’s Festival of Festivals this Thursday-May 7!
Ocmulgee Mounds Association will be there representing the Ocmulgee Indigenous Celebration—come out, say hello, & learn about the event and what we do!
Join us at Churchills on Cherry from 1:30–3:30 PM alongside other amazing Macon festival representatives.
