Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site is the largest pre-Columbian site north of Mexico, spanning approximately 2,200 acres and preserving around 72 of the remaining mounds from a civilization that thrived around 1100 AD. Recognized as a U.S. National Historic Landmark and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers a glimpse into the significant pre-contact history of North America, with a peak population exceeding 20,000 individuals, larger than that of London at the time.

The site features a variety of educational and outreach programs, including events such as the annual City of the Sun 5K Trail Run and Kids Day. Visitors can explore the grounds, participate in guided tours, and purchase unique items from the Museum Gift Shop, all while supporting the preservation and educational efforts of this historic location.
