Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Mound
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Mound, Archaeological mound at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.
The Native American mound spans 86 feet in diameter and rises 8 feet tall, standing near the Wright Brothers Memorial west of Fairborn.
The mound dates back to the Adena civilization that inhabited southwestern Ohio between 500 BC and 400 AD, featuring limestone construction materials.
The structure represents Native American burial practices and ceremonial activities, providing insights into prehistoric societal organization in the region.
Ground-penetrating radar surveys conducted in 1996 allowed researchers to study the internal structure without disturbing the archaeological remains.
The mound earned National Register of Historic Places status in 1972 as the fourth designated site from Greene County.
