| The Downtown Medicine Mound Museum, a former general store |
Halfway between Quanah, Texas and Chillicothe, Texas on US Highway 287, four large "mounds" can be seen to the south of the roadway. These interesting components of the landscape are known as the Medicine Mounds, due to their use by Plains Indian tribes as a location for gathering medicinal plants. The Comanche Nation considers these mounds to be a sacred site, which is understandable, since they are a rather awe inspiring outcropping on the flat plains of North Texas.
