Morrison Mounds is a historic site located north of

conical mounds, one flat-topped mound, and one elongated mound near Otter Tail Lake. This site has the oldest radiocarbon date for any mound group in the state of Minnesota.[3] However, its construction is similar to other mound groups in the area which suggests they are all from the same social group that built them over a period of time. Similarities include a central burial pit, logs over the burial pit, and the possibility of partial cremation on-site. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
