Serpent Mound Property Vandalized

July, 10, 2015.

Brad Lepper, of the Ohio History Connection, has written a brief post
about the recent damage to the Serpent Mound site. Serpent Mound is on the United States' Tentative List for sites being considered for UNESCO World Heritage status. 

"As some of you already may have heard, an act of vandalism took place at Serpent Mound in Adams County, Ohio over the July Fourth weekend.

This appears to have been a random act of vandalism that, luckily, caused minimal damage to the large, conical Adena mound and some of the surrounding grounds. Serpent Mound itself was not harmed."
