While you are at Blue Mounds State Park be sure and take a little drive to the Pipestone National Monument. This is where the Plains Indians would go to quarry catlinite or Pipestone.  Traditionally it was used to make ceremonial pipes.





It is a very pretty spot to walk with a bit of history as well.
