Indian Mounds

Historical marker location:
Ashland, Kentucky
( Central Park, 17th & Bath Sts., Ashland)

One and one-half miles NE in Central Park is an irregular row of mounds, part of a chain built by prehistoric men who were the forerunners of American Indians. Many of remains of that ancient people which once dotted this area were leveled as the town expanded. Some of these were burial mounds; others contained artifacts such as arrowheads and stone utensils.
