| State Park Overview: |
 | Seip Mound is the central mound in a group of geometric earthworks. Farming and erosion have degraded the surrounding earthworks leaving the central mound an outstanding feature. It is 240 feet long, 130 feet wide, and 30 feet high.
Excavations have revealed that prehistoric Indian buildings existed near the earthworks. Today, visitors can see the location of some of these buildings as they are outlined by short posts in the ground. The Hopewell Indians (100 BC-AD 500) built Seip Mound for burials. This culture had a highly developed craft industry, as is evidenced by artifacts found with bodies in the burial site. |

Great Place to Hike, and Enjoy Nature
Right off of State Route 50 in between Hillsboro and Chillicothe. The site has a small outbuilding with information about the mound, and the indians. Restrooms, Mowed trails, creek, birdwatching, earthenworks, beautiful scenery, and more. It is situated in a valley surrounded by rolling hills. This is a nice place to spend a couple of hours alone or with kids. And it is Free! Very peaceful and beautiful area.
