Zaleski Mound Group, Ancient burial mound complex in Zaleski, Ohio.
The Zaleski Mound Group consists of three earthen mounds, with the Ranger Station Mound measuring 14.4 feet in height and displaying a conical shape.
Early settlers in the 1850s partially excavated the Ranger Station Mound to construct a cold cellar, discovering a skeleton that was given to a local physician.
The mounds represent construction techniques of the Adena people, who built these structures as part of their burial practices during the pre-Columbian period.
Visitors can observe the mounds from designated viewing areas, though access remains restricted to protect the archaeological integrity of these structures.
Among the three remaining mounds, the Methodist Church Mound stretches 60 feet long and 53 feet wide, situated directly behind the Zaleski United Methodist Church.
