The Great Serpent Mound is a 1,330-foot-long, three-foot-high prehistoric effigy mound located on a plateau of the Serpent Mound crater along Ohio Brush Creek in Adams County, Ohio. Maintained within a park by the Ohio Historical Society, it has been designated a National Historic Landmark by the United States Department of Interior. The SerpentMound of Ohio was first reported from surveys by Ephraim Squire and Edwin Davis in their historic volume Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley published in 1848 by the newly founded Smithsonian Museum. The head of the serpent is aligned to the summer solstice sunset and it is thought that the coils may also point to the winter solstice sunrise and the equinox sunrise.
A public park for more than a century, Serpent Mound attracts visitors from all over the world. The museum contains exhibits on the effigy mound and the geology of the surrounding area. http://ohsweb.ohiohistory.org
