Jefferson, WI

To do:  Aztalan State Park
Find it:  N6200 County Rd Q Jefferson, WI  53549


Aztalan State Park is a National Historic Landmark and contains one of Wisconsin's most important archaelogical sites.  It showcases an ancient Middle-Mississippian village that thrived between A.D. 1000 and 1300.  The people who settled Aztlan built large, flat-topped pyramidal mounds and a stockade around their village.  Portions of the stockade and two mounds have been reconstructed in the park. - Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources


A state park vehicle admission is required.  See the fees by here - you can simply pay for a daily pass if you don't want to pay for an annual state park pass.

Here's an informative video that was produced by Wisconsin Public Television discussing Aztalan State Park.



A few photos I shot at the park when I visited in 2014.
