MOUNDS STATE PARK
Mounds State Park, located off I-69 east of Anderson, features 10 unique "earthworks" built by a group of prehistoric Indians known as the Adena-Hopewell people. The largest earthwork, the "Great Mound", is believed to have been constructed around 160 B.C. Archaeological surveys seem to indicate it was used as a gathering place for religious ceremonies. Be sure to include time to visit the new Nature Center. The new building includes a bird viewing room, small animal displays and much more.
State park permits can be purchased at any of the state park property locations across Indiana. State park permits can also be ordered online by visiting the
INDINIA ENTRANCE FEE web page.
