The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

Native Americans had lived in this area since prehistoric times. The Mayersville Archeological Site, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, is on privately owned land. It contains the remains of earthwork mounds constructed primarily in the Mayersville phase (AD 1200–1400) of the earlier Mississippian culture.
