Description: Located 70 feet above Lake Mendota on the westerly grounds of Mendota Mental Health Institute in Madison, Wisconsin, Farwell's Point Mound Group was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. This cluster of mounds contains eleven conicals constructed during the Middle Woodland stage (ca. 100-500), one of which rises to a height of ten feet. Farwell's Point Mound Group also includes remnants of two panthers, one bird, three linears, and one undefined effigy that were built during the Late Woodland stage (ca. 650-1200). Several other effigy mounds in this group, including a bird and a bear, were destroyed during the construction of the hospital facilities.
