Hopewell Culture National Historic Park


On the opposite side of the road from ominous double-fences of razor wire that encircle the compound of the Ross County Correctional Institution is a quiet little park on the banks of the River Scioto (pronounced by the locals as: sigh-OH-tuh).

Like a peaceful cemetery, a resting place for Northeastern America's indigenous history, the mounds that rise gently from the ground evoke reverence and remembrance.
