In southwestern Ohio, south of Elizabethtown, this forty-acre district preserves three Native American mounds and the site of a Native American village from different eras of occupation at the same place. The village belongs to the much older Archaic period, while the mounds were built later by Woodland peoples atop part of the earlier village site. Near the Ohio and Miami Rivers, the area offered abundant water, game, and edible plants, helping sustain habitation for at least six thousand years. Field surveys in the late 1950s found few artifacts and no pottery, evidence that helped distinguish separate occupations and underscored the site’s importance to regional Native American history.
