Cahokia Museum, located near the ancient Cahokia Mounds in Illinois, serves as an educational center that preserves and interprets the history of one of North America's most significant pre-Columbian Native American urban centers. It provides exhibits, artifacts, and interpretive displays about the Cahokia civilization, which thrived around 1050-1350 AD, known for its monumental earthworks and complex society. The museum offers insights into the culture, architecture, and daily life of the Mississippian people, helping visitors understand the significance of Cahokia as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and its role in early American history.
