Indian Mounds Park is the site of several effigy mounds including a rare flex-legged running panther, a linear mound and several round or oval burial mounds. These mounds were created by the Woodland Culture people, ancestors of the Ho-Chunk, who lived throughout this area from 499 BC to approx 1500 AD. Indian Mounds Park is located on Indian Mound Road, south of New Lisbon, off Highways 12 and 16 and is maintained by the New Lisbon Lions Club. The Effigy Mounds are listed on the National Register of Historical Places.

Look out for the Bears
Kurtis Hodges was driving west on Highway 21 in Juneau County between Necedah and Shennington shortly before midnight when he spotted a disabled semi truck.
Since his step-father, Mike Smith, owns Mike’s 24-Hour Mobile Repair towing service, Hodges naturally pulled over.
“He told me, ‘I think I just hit a bear,’” Hodges said. “You don’t hear that kind of thing around here.”
