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.
Hopewell Culture NHP consists of five separate site locations; Mound City Group (visitor center), Hopewell Mound Group, Seip Earthworks, Hopeton Earthworks & High Bank Works.
Hopewell Culture NHP preserves, protects, and interprets the remnants of a group of once extensive archeological resources that might be lost if not protected, including mounds and earthworks, artifacts, the archeological context, the cultural landscape, and ethnographic information.
