most unusual of all the effigy
mounds is Serpent Mound (l6
miles southeast of Hillsboro).
High on a hilltop, overlooking
a fertile river valley, Serpent
Mound represents a writing
snake, 1885 feet long and four
to five feet high. In the scien-
tific world, Serpent Mound is
one of the worlds wonders.
Another Mound Builders
construction type were walled
in geometric areas. Most un-
usual of these, great circle
and octagon, are at Newark. So
accurately were these gigantic
geometric figures constructed
that they are less than 20 feet
out of true.
There are also villages and
burial sites in large numbers.
In the Ohio State Archaeolo-
gical and Historical Museum,
Columbus, is the worlds finest
collection of Mound Builders
material; realistic carved stone
pipes, huge obsidian, sacrificial
spear heads, beautifully de-
signed copper plates, bushels of
river pearls, woven fabrics and
deadly Stone Age weapons.

let's EXPLORE OHIO
THE MOUND BUILDERS
IN OHIO

Ohio's first inhabitants of
whom there is scientific knowl-
edge, were the Mound Builders.
They disappeared before
Columbus discovered the West
ern Hemisphere; how long, SCI
ence cannot guess accurately.
These mysterious, long-ago
people lived from the Allie
gheny Mountains TO the Rocky
Mountains, from Wisconsin to
the Gulf of Mexico.
In Ohio they were especially
numerous. 1t is estimated there
are $500 Mounds of one form
or another within the state.
These take many forms. In
some cases they are forts,
showing considerable engineer
ing skill. One of the most
notable of these is Fort Hill
I'll miles north of PEBBLES,
near Route 124). The 50-acre
site is on top of a high hill
overlooking the beautiful coun-
try. Walls average from six to
ten feet in height, rising in
some places to fifteen feet. Fort
Hill is one of the worlds out
standing examples of prehis-
toric fortification.
Fort Ancient Is. r. $50, 10
miles east of Lebanon), another
noteworthy Mound B uil d e 7
fortification, has been visited
by hundreds of thousands OF
people attracted both by the
handiwork of these ancient
peoples and the magnificent
views from the Fort which
crowns a high hilltop.
Efigy mounds, as scientists
called them, are one of the
most interesting of all Mound
Builder relics. Probably OBJ
jects of religious worship, they
take the form of earthen ami
mails, birds or reptiles. The
