The Gaitskill Mound is an Indian mound attributed to the Adena people, who inhabited the Ohio Valley ca. 800 B.C. to 700 A.D. The Adena began cultivating simple crops, bringing about a mixed hunting and farming economy. Central to Adena life were rituals involving cremation and mound building. Engraved stone tablets found here indicate the mound to be Adena. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
