Students at Mound City photograph Save

Description: Eight graders listen to a guide on a visit to Mound City, November 3, 1976. The image was submitted by photographer Joyce A. Foster of Portsmouth, Ohio, in the Amateur category of the Spirit of Ohio Bicentennial Photo Contest. Mound City is a burial mound and earthwork complex located on the west bank of the Scioto River opposite the Hopeton Earthworks, a few miles north of Chillicothe. The site was constructed between approximately 100 BC and AD 400 by people of the Hopewell Culture and consists of 22 variously sized mounds surrounded a low, four-sided, earthen embankment that encloses about 13 acres. Since 1992 Mound City has served as the focal point of the Hopewell Culture National Historic Park. In August 1976, the Ohio American Revolution Bicentennial Advisory Committee (OARBAC) began the Spirit of Ohio Bicentennial Photo Contest as part of a larger effort in Ohio to celebrate the 1976 American Bicentennial. The contest was meant to document "the spirit and character of the people and places which represent Ohio during [the] bicentennial year," and to create a permanent photographic archive of the year's festivity for use by future researchers. Both professional and amateur photographers submitted over 500 photographs for consideration, all taken within the state between January 1 and December 31, 1976. View on Ohio Memory.
