The Upper Midwest is a treasure trove of archaeological sites: Some
eighty-five dedicated archaeology parks exist in the Upper Midwest States
of Minnesota, Wisconsin, northeast Iowa and northwest Illinois.
From Iowa's Effigy Mound National Monument on the Mississippi River
to the Gottschall Cave petroglyphs in Wisconsin to Grand Mound in northern
Minnesota, these fascinating sites are becoming destinations for travelers
looking for insight into cultures past.
A Guide to the Archaeology Parks of the Upper Midwest
is a comprehensive resource to the archaeological parks in the Upper Midwest
and contains all the necessary information for accessing them, including
travel directions, area chambers of commerce to explore other area sites
of interest as well as local lodging and meals, and resources and recommended
readings for further study in Upper Midwest archaeology.
Brief introductory chapters present an overview of the archaeology
of the region, consideration of the symbols and meaning of the region's
rock art and effigy mounds, and how to visit these unique, sacred sites.
