| What is it? |
The Kinsey Road Mound is a burial structure from the Adena culture! |
| What makes it historical? |
Like the Hopewell culture, the Adena are shrouded in mystery! We don’t really even know their real names, since they left no written records behind. The name “Adena” came from Ohio governor, Thomas Worthington, who found a mound on his estate, called Adena, and gave it that name. The people themselves spanned Kentucky, southern Indiana and Pennsylvania, and much of Ohio and West Virginia, hunting and gathering between 2800 BC and 1 AD! Most of what we know about them comes from mounds like these, where they buried their dead. |
