Facts and practical information

The Brick Church Mound and Village Site is a Mississippian culture archaeological site located in Nashville in Davidson County, Tennessee. It was excavated in the late nineteenth century by Frederic Ward Putnam. During excavations in the early 1970s the site produced a unique cache of ceramic figurines very similar in style to Mississippian stone statuary which are now on display at the Frank H. McClung Museum. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 7, 1973 as NRIS number 73001759 although this did not save the site from being almost totally destroyed by residential development. ()
