Located in the Ohio River Valley, the Grave Creek Mound was built by the Adena people between approximately 250 BC and 150 BC. The mound stands 69 feet tall and was made by moving more than 60,000 tons of dirt, making it the largest conical burial mound in the entire country. While here, visitors can also stop by the Delf Norona Museum to see its interpretive exhibits and the large collection of artifacts that have been discovered at the site. The museum and the mound are open Tuesday through Saturday year-round, and interpretive lectures can sometimes be arranged in advance.
