It was very interesting to see... Hopefully next time I'm through here it'll be warmer so I can explore more. And think there were hundreds of these all over the Midwest. Maybe even thousands. Too bad most of them were plowed over.
Educational and has great views of downtown St Louis, too.
Monk Mound is the largest with multiple audio and augmented reality spots available.
There is a visitor's center as well. It was closed on the day I visited. The pathways were open and well-maintained.

Like Stonehedge for England, Cahokia Mounds is a deeply buried in history place in the US. Here more than 20,000 people lived sometime between 700 and 1400 AD, that is more than population of London at the time. The UNESCO World Heritage site has more than 80 earthen mounds arrayed around a grand plaza. The woodhedge timber circle was used for astronomical observations.
It is a nice experience, especially if you pass or go to Saint Louis. The iconic Gateway Arch is clearly...
