Grave Creek Mound Archaeological Complex

The Grave Creek Archaeological Complex is home to multiple entities including a museum, an archaeological research center, and a National Register of Historic Places site. The mission of the complex is to preserve the site of the Grave Creek Mound, interpret the archaeological record of West Virginia for the public, and manage the state’s archaeological collections. The museum exhibits begin with fossils and ice age animals, a tour through archaeological sites in West Virginia, and then culminates with displays about the prehistoric Adena people and the construction of the Grave Creek Mound.
