We’ve a rich heritage in Wisconsin, from the early days of American settlement in this area, to settlement long before the United States.
Our effigy mounds are an archeological and cultural wonder, well-worth preserving and studying. Embedded below is a video presentation and tour of the mounds, the work of volunteers committed to maintaining them.
(For more about efforts to preserve this site, see Kevin Hoffman’s Whitewater considering plan to maintain effigy mounds: “Whitewater’s 14 effigy mounds are estimated to be between 700 and 1,100 years old. They are shaped like birds, minks and other spiritual beings and are considered burial sites for Native Americans.”)
