Growing up in Ohio, Native American burial mounds are familiar - even if I've still never seen the ones in Ohio. And I learned at Effigy Mounds that there are actually a very large number of burial mounds around Columbus, even if the most well known one (I assume) is further south.
The amazing thing here is that these mounds were preserved, thanks to a local amateur archeologist. Of particular note are the "marching bear" mounds - each the same size to a remarkable extent, and giving the impression of marching across Iowa.
There are a number of nice views of the Mississippi from the drive, as a bonus.
