Effigy Mounds National Monument hosts over 200 prehistoric mounds, built by Native Americans. The Effigy Mounds were built at the first of the millennium and many represent animals, such as birds and bears. The people of the Woodland Culture were more than likely to be the genius artists of these everlasting mounds. The Effigy Mounds National Monument is located in Iowa and runs adjacent to Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge, the Driftless Area National Wildlife Refuge, and the Yellow River State Forest.

Established in 1949, the Effigy Mounds National Monument protects one of the largest remaining concentrations of ancient American Indian earthworks in the United States. It is considered a sacred landscape by members of many modern-day tribes whose ancestors once lived here.

The majority of the mounds were constructed between 1,000 and 2,000 years ago — often to inter the dead, but sometimes for ceremonial purposes, or to tell important stories.

The park is home to more than 200 mounds in a wide variety of forms, including more than 30 animal or bird-shaped “effigy” mounds for which the park is named. Often more than 100 feet long individually, many of these animal and bird shaped mounds are perched high atop rugged bluffs overlooking the adjacent Mississippi River and are best appreciated viewed from above, as they are depicted on this stunning America the Beautiful 5 oz silver coin.
