Explore the Mysterious Ancient City of Cahokia

Located in the heart of the Mississippi River Valley, Cahokia was once a thriving metropolis of the Native American civilization. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is now a fascinating archaeological park that offers visitors a glimpse into the unique culture and advanced society of the Mississippian people. With its intricate mounds, ceremonial plazas, and sophisticated urban planning, Cahokia is a must-see destination for history enthusiasts and curious travelers alike.

At its peak between 1050 and 1200 AD, Cahokia was home to an estimated 10,000-20,000 people, making it one of the largest cities in the world at the time. The city was a hub of trade, religion, and political power for the Mississippian culture, with evidence of long-distance trading and complex social hierarchies. Today, visitors can explore the remains of this once-great city, including the 100-foot tall Monks Mound, which is the largest pre-Columbian earthwork in the Americas. The on-site museum and interpretive center also offer a wealth of information and artifacts for a deeper understanding of this ancient civilization.
