Mound Hill Cemetery is located off 122 west of Eaton. Open dawn to dusk.
Mound Hill Cemetery was named for the prehistoric Indian mound which lies within. The mound now holds the remains of 15 soldiers of General Anthony Wayne’s army, killed in an Indian attack on October 17, 1793. The remains were moved from burial sites at Fort St. Clair and re-interred in the mound on October 1847. At that time, a beautiful 10ft. monument of Rutland Marble was erected by contributions from the community and placed atop the mound to honor these fallen soldiers. Lots of old graves in this section of the cemetery. Most are mid to late 1800's and some you can't even read anymore. Please be respectful of the graves as you go for the cache. As always let me know if the log is getting full or needs maintenance. Report DNF's so I know if there is a problem or if I need to raise the difficulty. Do you best to put it back in the same spot.
