Beam Farm Woodland Archaeological District

Beam Farm Woodland Archaeological District is an excavation site in rural Ohio with multiple locations spread across 2 acres (0.8 hectares). The land holds one preserved mound and several other areas with archaeological remains.

The site shows human activity from the early to middle Woodland period between 800 BC and 500 AD. Evidence suggests different groups of people used this location across several centuries.

The district shows traces of Adena and Hopewell peoples through burial mounds and artifacts left at excavation sites. Visitors can observe how these early groups honored their dead and valued certain objects.

The site is located near Sabina in Clinton County and is not easily accessible without planning ahead. Visitors need to arrange access in advance and understand that the location is protected for research purposes.

The Beam family deliberately protected the main mound from excavation, preserving it for future scientific study with modern methods. This decision allows archaeologists to one day use advanced techniques to examine the mound.
