Iliniwek Village State Historic Site - Revere, MO In 1992 the Missouri State Parks acquired the 127.49 acres, the largest and best preserved remnant known of any Illinois Indian village. This site was occupied from ca. A.D. 1640-1683.

The site is fabulous for picnics.

At the site there are numerous houses, storage pits and even a ditch and palisade fortification which were discovered during a dig. The village contained 300 lodges and perhaps 8,000 people. Evidence of early European contact appears in archaeological finds through glass beads, metal objects and Jesuit trade rings.
