General Management Plan: Hopewell Culture National Historical Park, Ohio
Hopewell Culture National Historical Park in south-central Ohio, contains remarkable groups of large geometric earthworks as well as exquisite artifacts crafted by the Hopewell peoples. This final General Management Plan for Hopewell Culture National Historical Park was developed and strongly endorsed by a variety of groups and individuals as a strategy that best accomplishes the purposes and visions of the park and recognizes its significance. Proposals in this plan are designed to celebrate the culture and protect the resources. An international center for the interpretation, study, and preservation of the Hopewell culture is proposed along with the acquisition and opening of several new earthwork sites that would expand the park and enhance the visitor experience. Within Hopewell Culture National Historical Park are five noncontiguous units - Mound City Group, Hopeton, Earthworks, Hopewell Mound Group, Seip Earthworks, and High Bank Works -- representing some of the finest examples of Hopewellian resources. The park contains an array of significant cultural resources, including mounds, earthworks, and archeological remains, as well as related collections and records. Portions of the earthen construction have deteriorated, have been partially destroyed, or have been razed. The park and many of its resources are threatened by suburban growth, mineral extraction, plowing, soil erosion, and collecting. The isolation of each unit from the other poses challenges to management, including resource protection, development, and visitor use. Research and the park interpretive program have not been updated to incorporate the additional archeological resources in the new park areas. This General Management Plan has been prepared to address these and other issues at Hopewell Culture National Historical Park.
