**Fort Hill State Memorial Located in Southern Ohio just a few miles away from Serpent Mound is a nature preserve containing one of the best preserved Indian hilltop enclosures in North America. The Hopewell Indians (100 B.C.-A.D. 500) constructed the 1 1/2 mile long earthwork hilltop enclosure as well as at least two ceremonial buildings and probably a village in the Brush creek Valley. Lying at the western edge of the Allegheny Plateau, immediately south of the glacial boundary, this hilly area contains an impressive diversity of bedrock, soils, flora, and fauna. There are 11 miles of hiking trails at the 1,200 acre preserve as well as a picnic area. This picture is when we first arrived at **Fort Hill and we were looking across the some of the landscape. There is a tiny little cabin in the trees. Very sweet looking. Awesome place to visit! ** 20% of my profit on all Fort Hill related prints will be donated to the Fort Hill Historical Preservation.
