Hopewell Culture National Historical Park was established to protect the prehistoric remains of the Hopewell culture that thrived in the Ohio Valley from about 200 BC to AD 500. The term Hopewell describes a network of Native American groups with similar economic and political practices and spiritual beliefs who lived in woodlands of eastern North America. The park is composed of six sites in Ross County, Ohio, including what was once known as Mound City Group National Monument. The park includes archaeological remains such as burial mounts and earthworks. Hopewell Culture National Historical Park is part of the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks, one of 14 sites included in the list the United States nominated for the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
