Thus I'm distributing - at no cost - small replicas of the main mound at the site, embossed on the back with a code which, searched for on the Internet, will return a trove of information.
Mystery Mounds are made from plant-derived PLA plastic and are biodegradable.
I would like to put these in the hands of educators or others who wish to distribute Mystery Mounds at no cost - for instance as the core of a lesson plan.

This effort is currently being funded and implemented by an individual. I have excess PLA filament from a project involving the main mound at Letchworth and hit on the idea of printing the "mystery mounds" as a way to make good use of it. I have enough for several hundred mounds on hand. This isn't about me; I intend to stay in the background and supply them to people who can make good use of them. Just think of it as "recycling".
-- Spoiler Alert! --
The result of a search for the code on each Mystery Mound is mostly a long list of scientific papers. Every so often some archaeologists will go there, scrape and poke around, and publish a paper. That's it. No articles about plans for in some way restoring the site, much less any about something actually being done. I have no axe to grind here but this: a site of great historical and cultural significance is just eroding into the ground and passed off as a second rate roadside attraction. It deserves a better fate.
