Hmm...Sound like you are talking about Cahokia mounds.  Small hills built by the Cahokia Indians, believed to be for burial purposes.  \n\nNow here is the tricky part...there is a town in the area named Cahokia...but the mounds are not there.  The mounds are in Fairmont City.

When are you talking about?\n\nFor example, the St. Valentines Day Massacre (gang slaying) took place in Chicago during the depression.  Really fun research into that one -- lots of movies on it too!\n\nGoing back further, there were Mormon massacres in Nauvoo, IL in the 1840s.  Is that what you are talking about?  Less available on this, but you can read "Nauvoo, Kingdom on Mississippi" by Robert Bruce Flanders.\n\nThere have been lots of massacres in Illinois.  How far back are you talking, and what is the subject?

The mound was moved around 1893. Hasn't been moved since. Lowered, yes, but not moved. Were there celebrities before 1893???

Unfortunately these sites are county, city or state related and the fed base isn't very user friendly.\n\nHere is an address that might help you.\nhttp://www.isp.state.il.us/sor/\n\nI went to my county site and was absolutely floored when I saw two men who used to come to my pool hall listed as child molesters. Nice guys too! Goes to show you, never trust anyone until you REALLY know them!

Illinois has had 3 state capitals: Kaskaskia, Vandalia, and (now) Springfield. Maybe you could do a project on each time period or each city, explaining why each was chosen and why it moved from the first two.

The indigenous Potawatomi tribe called the marshes on which Chicago was later built "Checagou," which translates to "wild onion" or "garlic" (also referred to as "skunk cabbage"). [1] This name was transferred by European explorers to the Chicago River, and then by settlers to the name of the city. Before Chicago's founding, the name of the river was spelled several ways, such as "Chetagu" or "Shikago".[citation needed]\n\nThe origin of Chicago's nickname as "The Windy City" is debated and has many possible politically-motivated origins (see List of nicknames for Chicago). The most common explanation is that the phrase was created by New York newspapers in the 1880s, during a national debate over which city would host the 1893 World's Fair. However, the Chicago citizenry turned the intended slur into a compliment of the city's new life and vitality following a quick recovery from the previous decade's Great Chicago Fire. Hence the name remains in common usage. However, there has been evidence that the term Windy City had been in use prior to this common explanation. See Windy City, Origin of Name (Chicago) for a more thorough discussion.
