Description
Miamisburgh
Mound
State
Memorial
is
located
on the
south
side
of
Dayton
,
Ohio
in
Montgomery
County
.
Thought
to be a
part
of the
Adena
Culture
of the
Early
Woodland
Period
,
it
is
about
68
feet
high
. This
is
the
highest
mound
in
Ohio
and the
second
highest
in the
Eastern
United
States
. The
mound
stands
on
top
of a
100
foot
ridge
along
the
Great
Miami
River
,
making
it
visible
for
several
miles
. This
mound
is
a
burial
mound
standing
on
about
1
1/2
acres
and
is
about
877
feet
in
circumference
at the
base
.
It
is
believed
to
contain
about
54,000
cubic
yards
of
earth
. The
mound
may
have been
built
in
many
layers
over
several
generations
.
When
a
leader
died
, a
wooden
hut
was
created
for the
body
. The
hut
was
set
on
fire
and then
covered
with a
layer
of
soil
. As
other
leaders
were
buried
in this
fashion
, the
mound
grew
in
both
width
and
height
.
Around
400
AD
, the
people
who
created
these
mounds
disappeared
. The
mysterious
disappearance
of these
people
may
never
be
known
.
