Photo Gallery: Rock Eagle Mound
Marker text:
One mile west of this point is a stone mound believed to have
been constructed by pre-historic Indians before Columbus discovered America.
The mound is composed of white quartz rocks, forming the shape of a bird in
flight with its head turned toward the east and wings outspread. It measures
102 feet from head to tail and 120 feet from wingtip to wingtip, while the
body rises to about 10 feet above the surrounding surface. The mound is
thought to have been built for burial purposes.
