I go on a brief walkthrough of this National Historic Landmark, the oldest city in America, on a guided tour. The largest archaeological site in the USA, about 80 mounds remain of about 120. I started at Mound 38, Monks Mound, the largest mound at the site. The guided tour then took us to Mound 60(Fox Mound), a flat-topped mound, and Mound 59(Roundtop Mound), a conical, burial mound. I also explored Mound 72 on my own after the tour, which included many burials as well as one of great importance. Cahokia Mounds are located in Collinsville, IL, the Metro-East area of St. Louis, about 10 miles from the Gateway Arch.
