History

The two large earthen mounds traditionally known as the Indian Mounds are among the oldest man-made edifices in North America. Constructed approximately 6,000 years ago by Native Peoples, they are older than the Egyptian pyramids. A hunting-gathering society built these sacred structures and met here periodically for ceremonial activities and secular events.
