Moundsville Mound Bought for State Park in West Virginia
The 70 foot Grave Creek Mound, a key remnant of the ancient mound builders, was purchased by West Virginia with a 10 000 dollar appropriation and 25 000 dollar price, funded partly by heirs and school children. The mound, discovered near Little Grave Creek by Joseph Tomlinson in 1772, anchors the history of Moundsville and the Ohio River valley as a major prehistoric site now to be preserved as a public park.
