The Mound Tour Begins

This is just the beginning! Still working on the details for the rest of the tour. Stay tuned.

There are dozens of mounds in Central and Southern Ohio. The Hopewells, the Adena and the other societies known as “the mound builders” inhabited this area thousands of years ago. The mounds they left behind are intriguing, to say the least, and many are still a mystery. Were they burial mounds? Were they for religious purposes? Were they calendars or astronomical tracking devices? The answers still confound the anthropologists.

But the mounds themselves are amazing.
