Effigy Mound culture mound group dating to the period 700 - 1100 AD, most likely from the earlier portion of the period. Originally this mound group along the Rock River contained more than the five mounds now preserved in this city park. The mounds in the park include three conical mounds, a linear mound, and a mound shaped in the figure of a turtle.
