Tucked away in the peaceful heart of Palm Beach County, you'll stumble upon the Mount Elizabeth Archeological Site, otherwise known as Racey's Tuckahoe or St. Novitiate. This intriguing prehistoric midden and archaeological site offers a riveting stroll for history enthusiasts and casual wanderers alike. As you saunter through the park, you'll catch a whiff of the Prehistoric era – it's a mind-bending trip back more than 4,000 years in time.
This significant site harks back to the Prehistoric era and is tied culturally to the Late Archaic, Orange III Period, East Okeechobee Cultural Area. However, the true purpose of the site remains as elusive as a certain cheese. Mount Elizabeth Archeological Site today forms part of Palm Beach County’s Indian RiverSide Park, cozily settled to the east of Indian River Drive, alongside the Indian River Lagoon. As you gaze upon this ancient midden, it's hard not to feel a connection to the ancient inhabitants who once called this place home millennia ago.
