Review:
Aztalan State Park is a National Historic Landmark that preserves one of the most important archaeological sites in the state of Wisconsin.
The park, which is located in the city of Jefferson, preserves an ancient Middle Mississippian indigenous village that was heavily populated between the years of 1000 and 1300 A.D.
Its name refers to an historic belief that the village may have been connected to the ancient Aztec residence of Aztalan.
Pyramid-shaped mounds are preserved at the site, which are believed to have served both defensive and ceremonial purposes for the culture.
Visitors can also explore the park's 172 lovely preserved acres of oak woods habitat, which are home to excellent opportunities for boating, canoeing, and catfish and walleye fishing on the Crawfish River.
