Spirit Mound

Located a few miles outside of Vermillion, South Dakota is a historical and spiritual place called Spirit Mound. It is also know as Hill of Little Spirits. American Indians still hold this place as sacred and important to their culture. It is a place of peace and serenity.

Lewis and Clark encountered Spirit Mound during their journey in 1804.

If one takes the 0.8 mile walk to the summit perhaps they will encounter the peacefulness and spiritual goodness the facility offers.
