and 2 miles East
of Bainbridge,Ohio on U.S. 50 .

Seip Mound is the central mound in a group of geometric earthworks.
Farming and erosion have degraded the surrounding earthworks leaving the
central mound an outstanding feature. It is 240 feet long, 130 feet
wide, and 30 feet high.
Excavations have revealed that prehistoric Indian buildings existed near
the earthworks. Today, visitors can see the location of some of these
buildings as they are outlined by short posts in the ground. The
Hopewell Indians (100 BC-AD 500) built Seip Mound for burials. This
culture had a highly developed craft industry, as is evidenced by
artifacts found with bodies in the burial site.
