The largest of nineteen conical, oval and linear mounds once located in this vicinity, the Outlet Mound was constructed as a burial place by Woodland Indians about 2,000 years ago. It was saved from destruction by the Wisconsin Archaeological Society and local citizens in 1944 and donated to the City of Monona.

Marker is at the intersection of Ridgewood Avenue and Midwood Avenue, on the left when traveling south on Ridgewood Avenue.
