Glenford, Ohio, Adena Stone Ceremonial Center To Open To Public

Early map of Glenford Fort that was once surrounded by a six foot high stone wall.
   
  The Columbus Dispatch just reported that what is known as "Glenford Fort" is to open to the public.  The Coopriders had made efforts to have the large stone burial mound reconstructed after being demolished by a local amateur archaeologists.


I took this photo several years ago of large stone burial mound in the center of the complex.
