Caddo Mounds State Historic Site hosts grand reopening Saturday

Caddo Mounds State Historic Site is hosting a grand reopening Saturday, May 18.

The Texas Historical Commission will commemorate the reopening of the visitor center with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11:30 a.m. featuring guest speakers state Rep. Cody Harris (R-Palestine), Cherokee County Judge Chris Davis, Alto Mayor Jimmy Allen, Caddo Mounds State Historic Site Director Anthony Souther, Caddo Mounds State Historic Site Assistant Director Rachel Galan and President of the Friends of Caddo Mounds Jackie Bullard.
