The City of the Sun: Cahokia Mounds Historic Presentation

Join us as Justin Smock, Conservation Education Representative at Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site, discusses the ancient City of Cahokia, a site located in present-day Illinois which was inhabited by Native Americans from about 700 to 1400. An ancient metropolis, it was an artistic, cultural power center during the Mississippian period, and its inhabitants created the largest earthworks in North America. Who built the mounds? How did Monks Mound get its name? What was found at Mound 72? Learn this and more through a presentation that takes audiences on a journey through time.

We will do our best to make accommodations for those who may need them. We will need to be given at least 48-hours notice to best plan for needed accommodations.
