Indian Mound Reserve
Indian Mound Reserve is a public country park near the village of Cedarville, Ohio, United States. Named for two different earthworks within its bounds — the Williamson Mound and the Pollock Works — the park straddles Massie's Creek as it flows through a small canyon.
==Park==
Both forks of Massie's Creek flow through Cedarville Township from the east to their confluence in the township's center, whence the creek flows westward toward the Little Miami River. For the first below the confluence of the forks, the creek utilizes a shallow but sheer canyon that reaches as deep as below the surface of the surrounding terrain. Nathaniel Massie is reputed to have battled a Shawnee band under Tecumseh and forced them over the stream at the canyon.〔Dills, R.S. ''(History of Greene County, Together with Historic Notes on the Northwest, and the State of Ohio )''. Dayton: Odell and Mayer, 1881.〕 By the early twentieth century, local residents had known the vicinity of the "Cliffs" as a picnicking ground for the past hundred years, and calls were being made for its conversion into a park.〔Broadstone, Michael A. ''(History of Greene County, Ohio: Its People, Industries, and Institutions )''. Vol. 1. Indianapolis: Bowen, 1918, 79.〕 In 1929, owners D.S. Williamson and a Xenia bank donated the Williamson Mound to the Ohio Historical Society.〔Owen, Lorrie K., ed. ''Dictionary of Ohio Historic Places''. Vol. 1. St. Clair Shores: Somerset, 1999.〕 Today, Indian Mound Reserve is operated as a unit of the Greene County Parks, which uses it to host events such as children's camps.〔(Greene County Parks News ), Xenia Area Chamber of Commerce, 2012. Accessed 2012-12-24.〕 Hiking trails, picnic grounds, a log cabin, Cedar Cliff Falls, and the ancient earthworks are among the attractions within the park, which lies along U.S. Route 42.〔(Greene County Parks District Xenia Ohio ), Greene County Parks, n.d. Accessed 2012-12-24.〕 The earthworks are located on opposite sides of the creek: the Pollock Works on the southern side, and the Williamson Mound approximately 100 rods (1650 feet, or 500 meters) away on the northern side.〔Squier, Ephraim G., and Edwin H.
