In order to find out more about the Lewis Mound site, the Department of Defense recently sponsored limited archaeological testing of the village area surrounding the mound. The project was funded by a grant from the Department's Legacy Program, which promotes stewardship of the environment. The work was completed in support of the National Register of Historic Places. In addition to recognizing the importance of the site, placing the site on the National Register will afford it greater protection from development or vanalism.
