Dunn #1 encompasses eight Indian mounds in the west woods that are preserved in an open wooded area similar to their original condition when the Ho-chunk Nation lived there and sanctified the land. One mound is called an enclosure, which the U.S. Department of the Interior described as definitely the most impressive of all (of its kind) that still remain in Dane County. See Survey of Map of Mounds. The property/habitat also contains a possible site of an 1832 skirmish in the Blackhawk War where Jefferson Davis served as Battalion Commander and Abraham Lincoln reported as Captain.
