Adena Burial Mound in Brown County, Ohio
The Adena burial mound in Brown County, Ohio, overlooks the Ohio River. The mound is in the small Ohio River town of Aberdeen. It was recognized as a historic site in 1974. Like so many in Ohio, it has been listed as "Address Restricted." This means that part of American history doesn't belong to the people but to the Ohio Historical Connection.
The only way these mounds can be preserved is if people know about them and can keep an eye on them. In Ohio, the Ohio Historical Society destroyed thousands of burial mounds, so trying to keep the location secret is like asking the wolf to watch over the chickens.
