This is the site of a village once inhabited by Indians of the Iliniwek Confederacy. The Iliniwek, or Illinois, were one of the three most significant Indian groups occupying Missouri at the time of first European contact. It is the only Illinois village site so far found in Missouri, and historians believe it was the Indian village that explorers Marquette and Joliet visited on their 1673 expedition down the Mississippi River. Acquired in 1992, research is being done on the site, which currently has no public facilities available. Call Battle of Athens State Historic Site for more information.
