Miamisburg Mound State Memorial, an Ohio State Memorial located near Bellbrook, Brookville and Dayton

MIAMISBURG MOUND STATE MEMORIAL

The Miamisburg Mound is the largest conical burial mound in the state of Ohio and possibly in the eastern U. S.

Archaeological investigations of the surrounding area suggest that it was constructed by the prehistoric Adena Indians (800 BC - AD 100). Built on a 100-foot-high bluff, the mound measures 877 feet in circumference. It was originally more than 70 feet high.

Visitors may climb the 116 steps from its base to the summit for a view of the surrounding park. The 37-acre park has picnic tables and a playground.

January 31 top of mound

I thought the chain link fence and iron bars on top have ruined the once beautiful mound

September 9 Just Amazing by Michelle & Kie

My son and I live in Miamisburg. We enjoy going to Mound to play frisbee, walk, relax, and enjoy the history. What a gorgeous, well maintained park/historical sight.
