The Hopewell Mounds are located on Ohio 104 as you are leaving Chillicothe, Ohio, heading north. These sacred mounds are burial lands of the Hopewell Indians, and many of these mounds dress the landscape of the Ohio River Valley.
Mounds of various shapes and enclosures often built in geometric patterns dot the landscape of the Ohio River Valley. These earthen structures were doubtless the work of many human hands. Evidence suggests that Hopewell earthworks were used for a variety of ceremonial and social activities between 200 BC to AD 500. Come learn about these sacred spaces and reflect upon the lives of their builders.
