This is a cite rich with history thats easy to overlook. My wife and I started with the visitors center where we met with a U.S. National Park Ranger who gave us a wonderful and enthusiastic overview. We also watched the 18 minute video. Then after an enjoyable walk around the area, we returned to the visitors center and chatted with a newly assigned Ranger. He gave us an additional perspective of the area, including information about an active dig where we could observe archaeologists in action. How much you enjoy your visit here will greatly depend on your effort to uncover the history.

Beautiful park despite being surrounded by state prison facilities but once inside the short, wooded drive to the parking area all things modern and ugly are forgotten. A very peaceful park with a near immediate calming effect. Get off that awful paved Yoctangee flood wall path and experience the real beauty of Ross County. "Serenity Now!"

Excellent park that is associated with the National Park System. Best of all, this park is FREE. There are multiple locations with mounds to visit that have a great wealth of information to learn about the Hopewell Native Americans. The Visitor Center has a small but very informative museum with several artifacts. Definitely worth a visit.

This is a great place to go check out, they have a museum there that has artifacts that they found on site. some date back many moons ago. just to walk through the fields around there and read the placards of how our ancestors took care of the pass loved ones. If you get a chance, please go take a look see.

I am so disappointed that the people there didnt even show visitors the insides of the mounds. They could have used the computer to show people! The mounds themselves are not interesting,you can use what the hopewell used though.But still this is the best rating you will here out of me.

This park is definitely something to see. The mounds here are very fascinating and there are quite a few of them. Theres at least two nice trails that I saw. Also check out the gift shop/museum.

It was a nice area, interesting and quiet. I liked the museum too. It is nice that you can still visit historical areas for free.
