• Hopewell Culture National Historical Park
  Between about 200 BC and AD 500, many Native American communities all across eastern North America--each with their own distinctive ways of life--shared in a common set of beliefs and practices that has come to be known as "Hopewell Culture". One expression of these shared beliefs was the construction of monumental earthen mounds and enclosures. One of the greatest concentrations of earthen mounds, hilltop enclosures, and geometric earthworks in the form of circles, squares and octagons is found in the Scioto River Valley near present-day Chillicothe, Ohio. Five of these major centers, along with a museum collection housing hundreds of Hopewellian artifacts, are now preserved and interpreted at Hopewell Culture National Historical Park.
