Ancient Effigy Mounds

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.
