Mima Mounds Visit

What's going on with the Mima Mounds? Come check it out - Presidents' Day, February 16th! We'll walk around, talk about formation theories and maybe have an interesting experience or two.

We'll do a bit of an introduction to the geological mystery, including theories on what the mounds are or how they were formed, and what the implications of the formation might be. We might discuss a bit of the Native explanations and the possible connection to faeries and non-human beings. If you're interested in doing a bit of research beforehand and sharing we'd love to hear what you have to say - there are several theories and it could be interesting to see what the consensus is....

There will be time for us to walk together and to branch off, observe, and see what comes up. Is one of the popular theories sounding more likely after your visit? Try some meditations or connect with the wildlife. We'll join up after a bit and if anyone would like to share we can take a moment to do so.

A few notes:
You need a Discover Pass
Please prepare for the weather

Depending on the time allowances and weather there could be a secondary stop near the ghost town of Bordeaux. Although the actual town is located on private property and we won't be trespassing there are some places in the vicinity to park and explore the woods - maybe take a walk and do a little light ghost hunting.
