St. Louis’s downtown area didn’t always look the way itdoes now. A nice slow incline towards the riverfront, no obvious hills, or large mounds. At one time, the entire city was speckled with large hills, the remnants of Native American tribes who once lived in the area. 27 mounds intotal were gradually removed from the landscape to make way for a growing city.This week's episode, entitled Big Mound, is about the Native American mounds that dotted the metro St. Louis area, their history, and their unfortunate removal.-----All research, editing, and production done by River City Productions for Show-Me History.We can be reached at [email protected], on Bluesky at ShowMeHistory.bsky.app, on Facebook at facebook.com/showmehistorystl, or on X at X.com/ShowMe_History.Please take a moment to drop us a comment and rate us on whatever platform you're listening on.
