Grand Village of the Kickapoo
Grand Village of the Kickapoo, Archaeological site in McLean County, Illinois, United States.
The Grand Village of the Kickapoo extends over 70 acres of land, featuring preserved structural foundations and numerous Native American artifacts from the 18th century.
The settlement remained active until 1813 when U.S. Army officer Zachary Taylor directed military forces to burn the village, leading to its complete abandonment.
The site represents one of the last physical connections to the Kickapoo people in Illinois, containing evidence of their agricultural practices and social organization.
Access to specific areas of the archaeological site requires special permission to protect valuable artifacts and prevent unauthorized excavation activities.
Archaeological excavations revealed an integrated defense system from 1750, including strategic positions that allowed the Kickapoo to use fire as a protective measure.
