The Mound is a lovely spot to take a nice walk around and up the stairs for a nice view. There are restaurants and antique shops in the area, so it would make for a nice stop. Read the history of the Native Americans who were buried there at one time.
what industry did to the largest display of adena mounds in the country when it arrived here in the valley. this one sad and lonely mound remains.
Some nice local shops and resaturants in the area but not much to see. Some events are scheduled at different time of the year so check the calender.
Concerts and Craft Shows ! Parades 3 Times a year ! Oh ya Indian Burial Grounds ! Must See !!
This is a nice old Indian Mound in an urban, but nice setting and permanently open as a public park. The main problem was the complete lack of any information about the Mound and its origins, and there is not much of a view from the top to compensate.
We stumbled upon this site, but found it a really neat little mound, nicely kept by the city. Steps lead to the top, where we wished there were a bench to sit and enjoy the view.
Easy parking and access, seating available around base of mound, informational signs re: history of mound. Good restaurants close by
The mound is interesting and some of the shops around it are okay. There just isn't much else there.
We visited this Adena mound and were impressed by the many plaques that explain the history and culture of these ancient Americans. The mound is located in a very nice area of South Charleston. Go have lunch or dinner and visit this wonderful monument.Cheers,Rob and Teri
Great view of South Charleston from the top of the mound. Lots of birds frolic in the trees, and you can catch a festival at different times of the year here. I would like to see it add a bathroom facility however. It is central to the South Charleston shopping district where you can pick up everyday supplies at the two dollar stores, go antiquing in several multiple floor stores, or pick up anything from comic books at one store to band instruments for your kids at the other end. In between you will find Charleston's best variety of foreign foods fro Yen's Sandwiches, Pho Ving Long, Taste of Asia, and Main Tin, or a mix of American, Italian, and Middle Eastern at Grano, or American diner classics at Happy Day's Cafe. South Charleston really does have something for everybody. After dinner, if you've got little ones, drive down D street, hang a left on 2nd, and let the tots run off their food at the newly rebuild 2nd Avenue Playground.
