Description
Grave Creek Mound is an example of a burial mound built by the Adena people approximately 2000 years ago. It was originally 69 feet high and 295 feet in diameter. There is a good little museum adjacent which allows access to the grounds and provides information on this and other Adena mounts in West Virginia and surrounding area. When looking for this mound, just go to downtown Moundsville, WV. It isn't hard to find as it is directly across the street from the state penitentiary.
