Shrum Mound

Overview

Shrum Mound was likely built between 800 BC and 100 AD. At approximately 100 feet in diameter and 20 feet tall, Shrum Mound is said to be “one of the last remaining conical burial mounds” in Columbus. The grass-covered mound features a path leading to the top. The mound is located in Campbell Park, named for former Ohio Gov. James E. Campbell, who later served as president of the Ohio Archaeological and Historical Society. The mound derives its name from the Shrum family, which, in 1928, donated the land on which it sits to the Ohio Historical Society.
