The public is invited to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the establishment of Effigy Mounds National Monument, located north of Marquette, on Saturday, Oct. 26, at 10 a.m.
The event will mark the date of the signing of the executive order by Harry S. Truman on Oct. 25, 1949.
Effigy Mounds National Monument was preserved thanks to the hard work of many Iowans and began with 1000 acres donated by the State of Iowa for its establishment.
