 Shrum Mound is one of the last remaining conical burial mounds in
the city of Columbus. The 20-foot-high and 100-foot-diameter mound is located in the
one-acre Campbell roadside park. The mound is grass-covered and steps lead to its summit.
It was probably constructed about 2000 years ago by the prehistoric Adena people. The
mound is named for the donors, the Shrum family. The park is named for James E. Campbell,
governor of Ohio 1890-1892.
LOCATION
Campbell Park (Shrum Mound) is located five miles northwest of downtown Columbus on the
west side of McKinley Avenue, about « mile south of the intersection with Trabue Road. It
is adjacent to an old limestone quarry in Franklin County.
