Teaching my children history is my favorite thing to do. You can feel the energy in this spot

A stunning example of a mound built by the Adena people. Truly amazing that this archeological wonder has survived.

Nice historical sight. Nice view of the river from the top and a plaque or two to read. Very small area, not much else to it, but it is cool to reflect on how old it is.

Closest mound to downtown Columbus. Well preserved. Clean

What a great part of history tucked in a place where you would never think to find something like that. They did a great job with plaques and it’s worth a stop to reflect on history and pay your respects.

If u need a peace of mind and to reflect on life in general go here ️

Not really much to see. Its a mound of dirt. Interestingly, growing up this was always referred to as the Indian Mound. Only within the last ten years or so the City of Columbus put up a fancy sign declaring this to be Shrum Mound. Cant help but wonder if Shrum worked for the Parks and Recreation Department.

A beautiful example of an Ancient peoples burial mound has been preserved in this tiny park, named for a former Ohio Governor, and tucked off the side of the road. Walk up the steep and small unofficial winding path to appreciate this massive earthwork and views of the surrounding river area. Ancient peoples mounds were formerly ubiquitous in the Central Ohio area within the Scioto Watershed. It is great to see this remaining mound protected and maintained. No parking lot, but you may pull off the side of the road in a small area in front of the historical markers.

I like the simplicity of it. Great place to sit and have lunch. Peaceful.

Small plot. Impressive mound about 20 feet tall.

This Ancient Mound is a sacred site. Those who climb to the top of the mound may be presented with the sight of dozens of Great White Egrets nesting in a tree on an island in the quarry lake.

Shrum Mound is one of the last remaining ancient conical burial mounds in the city of Columbus, although others do exist and can be visited. The mound was constructed about 2,000 years ago by the Adena people, a native group abbot which little is known.The mound is named for the donors, the Shrum family, and the park is named for James E. Campbell, governor of Ohio from 1890 to 1892.

Shrum Mound is, well a mound of dirt. Granted it had some historical significance. If you are in the area, it is worth a stop. Parking is sparse. There is only room for about three cars at the edge of the road. The mound is considered sacred according to a sign so stay off. It is clear from other reviews and the path up the side that this is regularly ignored. Be respectful if you stop.

Really great to see. Wish they would do more with it

A historic treasure. It’s wonderful to have it preserved and maintained!

Very peaceful(besides local traffic) and beautiful. Ancient site so its definitely a must see and give thanks to the ancestors

Nice little indian mound. not much else

Celebrating indigenous peoples day

Interesting conceptually, but really no more than what you see in the pictures. Itd be nice if they had some educational displays and picnic tables there.

Pretty cool seeing a mound up close. I agree with other reviews, its not much to see a 5-10 minute stop.

Been coming here since I was a kid, love it!

Played Pokemon Go here. Found a random flamingo. Was cool.

Trees are gone. Looks like a landfill hump. Nice view at the top though.

Beautiful place just no parking. But other than that rich history

Good place to reflect

The scenery is beautiful

Cool place!

Cool.

Just a nice little historic quick stop spot. Very clean, snippets of info, and just a breath of fresh air

This large prehistoric mound is amazing and easily accessible. Its difficult to even imagine who the people were that built it or why. However it can be a fun place to get a little exercise as you climb to the top of the mound or a place to sit and reflect.

This is a lovely little piece of history (the park preserving the mound created in 1929) and a place to pay respect for those that have passed away centuries before us, tucked in a small nook right outside of Grandview. I really enjoyed my visit and will definitely go back again. Climbing up the mound isnt as difficult as Id expected it to be and only takes a minute or so. Theres somewhat of a path from where others have walked up and down it. As other reviewers have mentioned, there is a plentiful amount of avian wildlife visible from the top of the mound. Walking along the perimeter is something neat to do if you would like to extend your visit by a bit. There are many stacked, weathered stones to check out and a few trees with interesting characteristics.

Beautiful, we went there around 11pm to see it at night, there were bunnies and lots and lots of fire flys. A little eerie knowing your on a sacred burriel ground, we got chills a few times.. spirits?! Who knows.

A very cool historic place.

Well maintained spot. Nice to know Ohio cares for its Native American peoples enough to preserve this area. Found it because I picked up an Ohio Passport booklet at the Ohio History Center. Ir jas been fun learning about all the not so well known historical areas with my husband.

Property was well maintained and kept nice. Nice piece of history detailing how little we know about native culture. In Europe they would celebrate these mounds and have museums built around them. In America we destroyed most of them and the few left are surrounded by businesses and housing developments.

Eveeyone needs to go tonthe top and look over at the quarry

Very much in tact from 1920s i think it was built late 1890s by the hugeness of the structure but it was great to see a little piece of my culture still exist

Nice spot to go to get back to nature in the big city.

Much more fun than expected with the Cub scout den. Great history, great views

Its a nice place to visit

It would have been very easy to plow it under in the name of progress. Im proud the powers that be have continued their run of historical preservation.

Away to get away from the city in the city

Kind of interesting place.

History of the people here is interesting. Also a great view into the marble cliff quarry here many birds nest.

I love to take a blanket and go to the top of the hill and sit and the evening and stare at stores

Have lunch with my hubby there hes Indian

Its a nice mound

Its not much of a park or anything, but if you enjoy your history theres something to be gained from visiting.

I highly recommend it for you adventurous types. . quaint, quiet and simply beautiful

A neat little piece of history but there isnt really much to see.

IT is a really neat place to stop and walk around.

Got married to my soulmate here

One of the many great existing earthworks in Columbus, go see it!

Theres a good view of a bird rookerie just across the river, when you climb to the top of the mount. Tons of birds can be seen roosting here during the summer.

Had a fun time

Great place to check with historical value.

Indian mound in the of the city kind of neat.

What a weird gem to happen upon. Worth checking out if you want a super fast educational stop.

Amazing energy field! Great view.

Atmospheric 1st century native American burial mound, one of the last remnants of the Adena population center where Columbus now sits

The quarry had, at one time, plenty of Adena burial mounds. As the last in the area, Shrum mound is left to remind us of all the mounds that are gone forever.

Beautiful

One of the craziest must sees of Columbus Ohio

Historical locations are always worth the effort

Nyc view
