The Plattner Site is an "Ancient Little Osage Village" site noted by Lewis and Clark, excavated by archaeologists in the 1960s, and now designated as a National Historic Site in Saline County, Missouri.
The exact location of the site is on private property. The location is approximately on mile north of Malta Bend, Missouri, just below the river bluffs. The area can be visited without entering private property via county roads.
In the early 1800s, the river flowed 1/2 to 1 mile south of its current location, bringing this location on the river bluffs much closer to the river than it currently is.
