Inscription. Largest mound on The Plains, 40 foot high and 140 in diameter. It has not been excavated and therefore is one of the few remaining mounds whose shape and size has not been altered. A second mound just south of Hartman Mound was 6 foot high and 40 foot in diameter. Mr. Andrew discovered a almost complete skeleton, 500 rolled copper beads, 50 thick shells and an unusual copper tubular blockended pipe with a flared mouthpiece in it's log crypt.

Erected by The Hartman Family. (Marker Number 7.)
