I had to stop by and visit my ancestors! Big Ohioan!

This is a great historical site. If you visit here, please remember that this is a sacred site and do not climb up on the mound.

Not much there, however it is an ancient burial ground. Worth visiting if in the area.

A neat sight in the middle of the city. Take a stroll to the top of this ancient mound and reflect on its history.

Tiny park, but beautiful and fairly quiet even though it's right on the road. Worth a stop if in the area.

This is a nicely preserved mound in the middle of town. I thought it was attached to a larger park, but it is just the mound and the fence encloses it a few yards from the base. It was worth a stop, but I wouldn’t go back.

Worth stopping by and viewing. Love that there was no waiting, no pre-booking, and no fee at all to view with family. It seemed like it was well maintained and clean. It was fairly easy to park. I will say it was a bit awkward seeing a suburb or complex right across. Other than that, pretty cool to check out. Recommend!

Drove past this site to many times to count! I finally stopped & it’s beautiful as well as peaceful!

What a great part of history tucked in a place where you would never think to find something like that. They did a great job with plaques and it’s worth a stop to reflect on history and pay your respects.

This Ancient Mound is a sacred site. Those who climb to the top of the mound may be presented with the sight of dozens of Great White Egrets nesting in a tree on an island in the quarry lake.

Cool place stumbled across this after getting my oil change. Very interesting history.

Its just a little stop on the side of the road but it's pretty cool. I wouldn't drive too far out of your way to see it but if you are in the area it's a nice little place to sit and walk around.

A beautiful example of an Ancient peoples burial mound has been preserved in this tiny park, named for a former Ohio Governor, and tucked off the side of the road. Walk up the steep and small unofficial winding path to appreciate this massive earthwork and views of the surrounding river area. Ancient people's mounds were formerly ubiquitous in the Central Ohio area within the Scioto Watershed. It is great to see this remaining mound protected and maintained. No parking lot, but you may pull off the side of the road in a small area in front of the historical markers.

Unlike many indigenous mounds this particular mound is well kept and protected.

I haven’t been here in several years, however I’ve been more times then I could count. I always thought it was such a very peaceful place to visit. It’s free to everyone, and wonderful piece of history that by the Grace of God hasn’t been destroyed yet unfortunately like so many other places. I plan on stopping by for a visit again in about a month or two and taking my cousin Suzy. Who to my surprise didn’t even know it existed and she’s the one that grew up on the west side of Columbus, it was practically in her back yard… LOL… She’s gonna love it!!!! Can’t wait. I’ll post another update about with pictures after our visit.

Walking around this tiny park in the midst of Columbus, one can’t help contemplate the history it has witnessed over the last 1,000 years. Thankfully spared from the settler unlike many other examples lost to history.

The place is very peaceful and historical as well. The bones of the native American were buried there. It was such a great opportunity for us to visit that site during our vacation that we spent in Ohio.

Whomever is buried here does not like the name in any way. I enjoyed the energybof this beautiful spot. I absolutely love to see the earth works.

Very impressive, well kept, convenient parking, easily accessible from the road.

Shrum Mound is a burial mound of the Adena cultural style... it is fairly conical with an elongated summit. There is a well worn trail to the top, and you are allowed to actually climb it. Shrum is not an effigy mound like the Hopewell built, it is pretty tame in comparison, but the fact that it resides right in the middle of the Columbus metro-plex on the banks of the Scioto is pretty peaceful. There are no museums, just a roadside marker about the mound and the park. I have a special connection to this place. I am of Shawnee and Delaware descent, and my ancestors were the ones who built these mounds. When I was a college student at Ohio State, I found it by accident, and came there many times while living in the Columbus area. It was a place I could come to reground myself... and some 30 years later, it still is. If you are looking for fancy museums, and showy things, this isn't the place (I strongly recommend Mound City in Chillicothe, Newark Earthworks, Ft. Ancient outside of Cincy or the Serpent Mound outside of Seaman, OH. But if you want to find a connection back to where you come from (if you are Native) or just a place to catch a breath and relax in the busy hustle and bustle of the Columbus area... this little park, and its little mound may just be for you.

Excellent signage and two decent sized benches, perfect for spending a morning admiring the Adena. Careful pulling in and out when parking it's a lil tight.

Nice, easy-access Indian Mound in a pretty, scenic location with woods on two sides, a quarry on the other, and a parking lot just feet from the Mound.

Nice example of a large prehistoric Adena mound with an interpretive sign. Small area set aside to preserve the mound proper, which probably originally had an encircling ditch and embankment. Read the online info about Adena Culture at Ohio History Connection before visiting.

Place is peaceful. Very nice place to walk to, rest, and reminisce about the historical significance of our country and the people who were here first - indigenous people.

We stopped here to cross it off our Ohio landmarks book. Cool little mound randomly on the side of the road. Great view from the top of an adjacent wildlife area.

Wish there was a little more educational material.

A well kept native burial site. Don't expect to see much when you get there otherwise than a mound. That being said, it is nice to be able to walk around the area and view the small display they have concerning the history. Also, please don't walk on the mound!
