The remnants of the Whistler Mound Group and Enclosure are being preserved as monuments to the spectacular Native American civilizations that went before us. The Whistler group will be the first in the county to be preserved and promoted. Immediate plans include walking trails among the mounds, a fishing pier and a bridge connecting the adjacent village campgrounds, as well as necessary parking and picnic areas. Future plans include an interpretive center, restrooms, the acquisition and preservation of adjacent wetlands, continuation of walking trails and a nature observation deck. In the summer of 1998 the handicap accessible fishing pier and parts of the walking trails were completed.
Work continues on clearing brush from around the mounds and establishing remaining park facilities.
