Inscription. For approximately 150 years, this region has been intensively farmed. By clearing rocks from fields and plowing over the mounds, some destruction and erosion of cultural assets occurred. Yet, many farming families also played a role in site preservation. These farmers protected the mounds from destruction by curiosity-seekers, cooperated with archaeologists and conservationists, and provided some of the property that would create this park.
