Shrum Mound at Campbell Park- Ohio Historical Society

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 2,000 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.
