Description:
Effigy Mounds National Monument, located in Iowa along the Mississippi River, is a sacred site that preserves over 200 prehistoric mounds built by Native American cultures, some shaped like animals such as bears and birds. These earthen structures, constructed between 850 and 1400 years ago, hold deep spiritual and ceremonial significance. The monument offers visitors a chance to explore both the rich cultural history of these ancient peoples and the natural beauty of the Upper Mississippi River Valley.
