Fort Hill State Memorial is a nature preserve containing one of the best
preserved Indian hilltop enclosures in North America. The Hopewell
Indians (100 B.C.-A.D. 500) constructed the 1 1/2 mile long earthwork
hilltop enclosure as well as at least two ceremonial buildings and
probably a village in the Brush creek Valley.
Lying at the western edge of the Allegheny Plateau, immediately south of
the glacial boundary, this hilly area contains an impressive diversity
of bedrock, soils, flora, and fauna. There are 11 miles of hiking trails
at the 1,200 acre preserve as well as a picnic area. The museum reopened
in the fall of 2000 after an extensive renovation. New exhibits include
a variety of hands-on and interactive, multimedia displays depicting the
geology, flora and fauna of Fort Hill..

LOCATION
Fort Hill is located off of State Route 41 on Township Road 256, five
miles north of Sinking Springs and three miles south of Cynthiana in

This is a microbox ,please bring your own pen and stamp pad.
This stamp subject has nothing to do with this preserve ,but I wanted to
leave a letterbox in return for future seekers of The Prairie Dock Trail
~by kkreations which is also in this preserve.

Driving directions: Adams Lake State Park is one mile north of West
Union on State Route 41. After turning into the park, drive approx. .5
mile and look for a sign on your left: "Adams Lake Prairie
State Nature Preserve". Park in the parking area on your right.
Clues:
Cross the road to the info board next to the "Nature Preserve" sign.
Check out the trail map - you will be following the Prairie Dock
Trail, which begins just beyond the info board. Follow the trail up
the hill. The trail will split off to your right to make a loop around
the prairie -DON'T take the loop, but continue up the trail. You will
pass two info boards on your left as you continue
walking: the first is about oak trees, the second about ant mounds.
About 17 paces
(2 steps = 1 pace : about 5 feet ) up the path from the ant mound board,
you will reach a "Y" in the path. Go Right ( around the loop ) .You will
pass many info boards ... Deep Roots, Edwards Hairstreak,Blazing
Star,and Prairie Dock.

At the intersection go North to the Prairie openings sign on your left.
Go 5 paces from that sign .STOP
Take a bearing of 80 for 3 paces you will see a log lying in a N-S
direction.You want to look real hard at the NORTH end .Its a itty bitty
camoed film canister......good luck !

Please be especially conscious of leaving no trace as this is a nature
preserve.
