The Rhoads site represents the remains of a late eighteenth- to early nineteenth-century Kickapoo village burned by American soldiers during the War of 1812. The Kickapoo village appears to have been organized around a series of individual family compounds consisting of post structures, deep food storage pits, and open-air work areas that contained smudge pits for smoking animal hides. European-made artifacts recovered consisted almost entirely of items such as brass kettles, trade guns, and knives associated with the Great Lakes fur trade. The recovery of bone and antler tools and ornaments, stone smoking pipes, and ceramic figurines from the site also provided evidence of continuity with late prehistoric and early historic period native peoples within the same region.

Rhoads ni kijiji cha Kikapu kilichotengenezwa na jeshi la Marekani wakati wa Vita vya 1812. Kijiji cha Kikapu kilikuwa na majengo ya familia, mabwawa ya kuhifadhi chakula, na maeneo ya kazi ya wazi. Vitu vilivyotengenezwa na Wazungu vilivyopatikana vilikuwa karibu kabisa vitu kama vile mitungi ya shaba, bunduki za biashara, na visu vinavyohusiana na biashara ya manyoya ya Maziwa Makuu. Uokoaji wa mifupa na nywele za nywele na mapambo, mabomba ya kuvuta sigara ya mawe, na sanamu za kauri kutoka kwenye tovuti pia zilitoa ushahidi wa mwendelezo na watu wa asili wa kipindi cha kabla ya historia na mapema ya kihistoria ndani ya mkoa huo huo.
