In Grateful Remembrance
this public state park has been created
through the generosity of public- spirited
citizens of Greene county who donated the
land. The prehistoric Indian-mound known
as the “Williamson Mound” thus will be
preserved forever, and stands not only as a
memorial and monument to the donors,
but to those “first Ohioans” who sleep within.
recognition is extended to
David S. Williamson
of Cedarville, Ohio, who donated 240 acres,
including the mound, to the Ohio State
Historical Society, Columbus, Ohio
and to
the Home Building and Savings Co.
of Xenia, Ohio, including officers, shareholders,
and depositors, who gave .48 of an acre.
