My journey through Aztalan State Park was full of tranquility and magic!

Aztalan State Park is not just a State Park, but also a National Historic Landmark. Aztalan is quite extraordinary and incredibly ancient. This beautiful area was once home to many early Native American peoples in the state of Wisconsin. The native Aztalan people stemmed from a group known as the Mississippians; a tribe who lived around the Mississippi River Valley from approximately 900 AD to 1450 AD. The most fascinating feature of Aztalan State Park is the ancient burial mounds. Before I get a little deeper into that, let me tell you what led me to this magnificent site.
