Illinois Adventure #1308 "Cahokia Mounds"
Within the 2,200-acre tract, located a few miles west of Collinsville, Illinois, lie the archeological remnants of the central section of the ancient settlement that is today known as Cahokia.
Cahokia Mounds has been recognized as a U.S. National Historic Landmark, and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), in 1982, designated Cahokia Mounds a World Heritage Site for its importance to our understanding of the prehistory of North America.
Cahokia Mounds is managed by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency.
