Rockwell Mound, Archaeological site in Havana, United States.
Rockwell Mound extends across two acres of land and rises to a height of twelve feet in the Illinois River basin area.
The earthen structure, constructed around 200 AD, required approximately 1,760,000 baskets of soil to build this monumental Native American site.
The mound represents the achievements of the Hopewell Culture, who established complex trade networks for materials like obsidian and copper across North America.
Located on North Orange Street near Optimist Pool, the site connects to the Dickson Mounds Museum, six miles away, through the Illinois River Road.
The National Register of Historic Places designated this location as address-restricted due to its archaeological sensitivity, yet maintains public access since 2007.
