Outdoor Tours To Be Offered
As we move towards fully reopening Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site, we will now offer interpretive outdoor tours of 3 key areas of the site.
Interpretive outdoor tours will begin on Wednesday 7/8/2020 and continue until the building reopens. Tours will be offered Wednesday through Sunday.
There will be 3 tour offerings: The Grand Plaza, Mound 72, and Monks Mound.
Each tour will last 45 minutes.
These tours will be offered on an RSVP basis only, by calling 618-346-5161.
All 3 tours will take place at 10:00, 11:00, and 1:00. If you would like to do all the tours, you must RSVP for EACH tour. Only those on the RSVP list will be permitted to accompany the tour guide.
Tours are limited to 10 people and face coverings will be required.
The Grand Plaza tour will begin at the bronze door entrance of the Interpretive Center.
The Monks Mound tour will begin at the Monks Mound Interpretive Sign located just NW of the Monks Mound parking lot.
The Mound 72 tour will begin at the Interpretive Sign in the main visitor parking lot.
These are walking tours, during extreme heat, the guide reserves the right to modify the distance and content of the tour to ensure visitor comfort and safety.
