Effigy Mounds National Monument

Effigy Mounds National Monument located near Marquette, Iowa was established to preserve early American Indian earthen mounds in the shape of animals. Over 200 mounds represent almost 2,000 years of mound building along the Upper Mississippi River. The mounds are situated in a beautiful landscape with ecosystems supporting a diversity of life. Take one of the many ranger-guided hikes offered throughout the year, or a self-guided hike through forest, prairie and wetland viewing mounds that are sacred to many American Indian Tribes. A two mile Fire Point hike leads to over 20 mounds exhibiting a diversity of mound building, while the boardwalk trail goes to a wetland. The visitor center has a brief film about the mound builders, and a museum exhibiting archaeological and natural specimens, some over 2,000 years old. Special events include a hands-on demonstration of weapons formed and used for hunting, and a HawkWatch Weekend.
