These prehistoric burial mounds give no indication of who the individuals were who were buried. No records or survivors who would have known those buried exist. Therefore, these are graves of the unknown. The mounds featured in this waymark are located at and around the coordinates, which are found in Hudson, WI within the City of Hudson's city park, Birkmose Park.
Between the conically shaped burial mounds is a bronze marker which reads:
Prehistoric Indian
Burial Mounds
Preserved through the gift of
this park to the City of Hudson by
C.J. Birkmose
Marked by
Woman's Club of Hudson
May, 1930
The mounds are believed to have been built by the St. Croix Sioux Indians, probably before or during the Woodlands culture era.
