Aztalan

One of the many places I remember visiting when I was younger is Aztalan.

Opened in 1952, Aztalan State Park was established to preserve the stockaded Indian village, the most northern outpost of the Middle Mississippi culture.

Aztalan is located on the banks of the Crawfish River in Jefferson County. Ancient Indian civilization flourished here for a century sometime between 1100 and 1300 A.D. In its heyday, Ancient Aztalan had a population of about 500 people who lived within a stockade--now partially restored--having an area of 21 acres.

The Museum, open daily from May 15 through September 30, can be easily reached from Interstate 94 by using the Highway 89 exit south into Lake Mills, then east three miles on Jefferson County Trunk B.
