The Campbell's Island Historic Site consists of an imposing granite monument dedicated to a battle between Sauk and Fox Indians led by Chief Black Hawk during the War of 1812. At the time, the Indians were allied with the British, and the battle resulted in a British win. It is a beautiful site overlooking the river, and there is also a peace garden with four concrete benches arranged in a sacred circle. It is listed as a national historic site.
