Black Hawk State Historical Site

Hauberg Indian Museum with exhibits and objects of the Mesquakie and Fox; over 200 acres with deciduous forest, six miles of hiking trails, interpretive trails, and three day use areas. Black Hawk State Historic Site is a wooded, steeply rolling 208-acre tract - bordering the Rock River in Rock Island County. Prehistoric Indians and nineteenth-century settlers made their homes here, but the area is most closely identified with the Sauk nation and the warrior-leader whose name it bears - Black Hawk. The site, which is also noted for its many natural features, is managed by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency. The Rock River Trail is a loop again, thanks to the new bridge funded by a River Action grant.
