--E.H. Roseboom & F. P. Weisenburger
A History of Ohio
 One of the few effigy mounds in Ohio, Serpent Mound is the largest and finest
serpent effigy in the United States. Nearly a quarter of a mile long, Serpent Mound
apparently represents an uncoiling serpent. Serpent Mound lies on a plateau overlooking
the valley of Brush Creek. Nearby conical mounds contained burials and implements
characteristic of the prehistoric Adena people (800 BC-AD 100).
Many questions surround the meaning of Serpent Mound, but there is little doubt it
symbolized some religious or mythical principle for its builders. The museum contains
exhibits on the mound and the geology of the surrounding area.
LOCATION
Serpent Mound is on State Route 73, six miles north of State Route 32 and 20 miles
south of Bainbridge in Adams County.
