Growing up right next to a historical site in Worthington, Ohio

Posted to Columbus Suburbs, Leigh Reynolds, Real Estate Markets

Not many people can say they grew up right next to an Indian Mound as I did here in Worthington, Ohio. The Indian Mound was a focal point of play and exploration for me, my brothers, sister, and the other neighborhood kids. Whenever giving directions to my house I would always say "My house is the one next to the Indian Mound" of course, that would take some by surprise. Many people never even realized there was an Indian Mound in the heart of Worthington.

With careful thought and dedication The Jeffers, who owned the land the Indian Mound sits upon, made it their mission to protect this site even as they sold off lots for a small number of homes to be built around the area over 35 years ago. Upon the death of Mrs. Jeffers this site was donated to the Worthington Historical Society and will forever be protected.
