Toolesboro Mound Group, Archaeological burial mounds in Wapello, United States
The Toolesboro site features seven conical burial mounds positioned on a bluff overlooking the convergence of the Iowa and Mississippi Rivers.
Native American Hopewell communities constructed these burial mounds between 200 BCE and 300 CE, establishing them as enduring markers of their presence.
The excavated artifacts indicate an extensive trade network, with materials from Lake Superior copper to Gulf of Mexico shells reflecting social hierarchies.
The site welcomes visitors from Memorial Day through Labor Day, Wednesday to Sunday between 12:30 PM and 4:30 PM, with extended Saturday hours until Halloween.
Mound 2, measuring 100 feet in diameter and eight feet in height, stands as the largest Hopewell burial mound discovered in Iowa.
