Summary
Description |
English: Picture of the historical marker for the McKees Rocks Mound in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, on October 24, 2009. To the left, one can see a fence and behind that are trees on a hillside. This led me to believe that the remaining part of the mound may either be on or a part of the hillside. Historical Marker Location: Rangers Field, Shingiss and Sproul Streets (at the very end of Sproul Street, and on the right by the ball field). The Bottoms, McKees Rocks, PA.
The historical marker says the following: "McKees Rocks Mound - Largest Native American burial mound in Western, PA (16 ft high & 85 ft wide). It was hand-built by the Adena people between 200 BC and 100 AD and later used by the Hopewell people. Late 19th century excavations uncovered 33 skeletons and artifacts made of stone, copper, & shells. Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission 2002." [1] |
