Schaefer Bird Mound

(Schaefer Group)

 

According to the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway map, Schaefer Bird Effigy is the only mound left of the Schaefer Group. The mound

is in perfect condition, one of the few mounds in the state preserved the way they deserve. To find it, go west from the intersection of

Highways 60 and 80 north of Muscoda less than a mile, cross Mill Creek bridge and turn left and park on Effigy Mound Lane. Follow signs

to the mound.
