Shrum Mound is 20 feet high and 100 feet in diameter at the base. It is conical with a flat top. The mound has been designated as an Adena culture burial mound.
The Ohio Historical Society has tried to protect ancient sites lying on waste land by incorporating them into small parks. In this case Campbell Park lies between a limestone quarry and railroad tracks. A somewhat grand entry was added to the low stone fence surrounding the park. A narrow parking area allows a passing driver to pull off the road, and stop to rest on the grass and appreciate this mound.
The park is just off of McKinley Avenue in west Columbus.
