The main draw of Hopewell Culture National Historical Park is the Mound City Group, a collection of large reconstructed mounds commemorating the Hopewell tribe.

This National Park focuses on the many Native American burial mounds in the area and the miracle of their conservation . The movie about this place was very educational. We have been to other burial mound sites in this country and others. This park is well documented and worth a short visit. There is a hiking path through the trees between the visitor center and the river and the mounds themselves are close to the Visitor Center and easily accessible. No admission charge for this park.

This is a wonderful resource for Chillicothe; a beautiful area, adjacent to the downtown, where one can relax and reflect. Whether one is driving, walking or just sitting; there are shaded areas, a nice large pond (with a great fountain), a scenic small bridge, and swans, ducks, & lots of geese (yes, and lots of goose poop) to enjoy (and avoid). There is also a pool & waterslide, areas for sports, and two museums (railroad and contemporary art) for folks to check out. There are many large towns around without the resource of this nice of a park. This place definitely warrants a visit, if one is in the area.
