The Old Mound
The hill from which Pilot Mound takes its name is a bedrock ridge streamlined by glacial action. Archaeological excavations in 1908 showed an artificial mound on top of the hill to have been a burial place for late prehistoric Indians. Within recorded time the hill was a gathering place for buffalo hunters and for Indians who held ceremonial dances there and named it "Little Dance Hill."
A local legend, related by settlers about 1878, states that in the 1850's the Sioux were defeated by Red River Buffalo Hunters in a skirmish near the Hill.
