Facts and practical information

The Fort Wayne Mound Site was a Prehistoric burial mound located on the grounds of the Ordinance Department of the former Fort Wayne in Detroit, Michigan. It was one of a series of mounds in Detroit, including the Springwells Mound Group, the Carsten Mound and the Great Mound at the River Rouge. By the mid-20th century only the Fort Wayne Mound was still standing. Today, the remains of the mound—located near Officers’ Row—is fenced off to visitors. ()
