The site is in a dense rain forest in northern Belize along a lagoon about 25 miles northwest of Belize City near Crooked Tree Village. It is one of the last known untouched and unlooted Mayan sites, because local residents had kept it secret and protected the site for generations. Excavations of tombs have turned up beads, containers, blades and ornamental objects that are providing a glimpse into everyday life in one of the last inhabited Mayan settlements.
Admission is free.

The first is a collection of clothing and other artifacts assembled by Hilda Davis, an anthropologist and IU graduate who studied Seminole craft work during the 1950s. The second is a collection of photographs taken by Deaconess Harriet Bedell, a missionary who lived among the Seminole from the 1930s through the 1950s.
