Mound City Ranger Guided Tours

Summer Ranger Guided Tours of Mound City Group

Summer Dates: Every day of the week May 24 - August 3
Ranger Guided Tour Times: 10:00am and 1:30pm

A sacred site built by Native Americans, Mound City is the only Hopewell earthwork to have been restored. Walking among these burial mounds can give the sense of what it must have been like to attend a ceremonial gathering here nearly 2,000 years ago.

Tours begin at the Mound City Group visitor center. Rangers will guide visitors into the Mound City Group earthwork. The tour will last approximately one hour and will be mostly in the sun. Visitors should wear comfortable walking/hiking shoes, bring sun protection and bug spray. All terrain at Mound City Group is flat and considered an "easy" hike/walk. Learn about what to expect when hiking at Mound City Group.
