The Sheboygan Indian Mound Park is a public park in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Its main attraction is 18 Indian burial mounds[1] distributed over 15 acres. The Kletzien Mound Group, located within the park, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.[2] While the park is operated by the City of Sheboygan, it is surrounded by the Town of Wilson in a residential neighborhood. The park is protected under the Wisconsin Burial Sites Preservation Law.

In 1967 Julilly House Kohler organized and led a campaign to preserve the historic Indian mounds which resulted in the site being designated as a county park. In 1968 Kohler was the registered agent for the incorporation of the Sheboygan Indian Mound Park Association, Inc.[3]
