APPENDIX A

LIST OF UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PERSONNEL CONNECTED WITH MOUND CITY GROUP NATIONAL MONUMENT/HOPEWELL CULTURE NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK [1]

President Warren G. Harding signed an executive order declaring Mound City Group National Monument on March 2, 1923. Because the monument came from land within Chillicothe's federal reservation containing Camp Sherman, it came under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of War. The War Department immediately assigned administration via a revocable agreement to the Ohio Historical Society. Federal jurisdiction of the monument changed on August 10, 1933, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt assigned prehistoric and historical monuments to the National Park Service via the Secretary of the Interior. The bureau terminated the state's onsite involvement as of July 24, 1946. Mound City Group National Monument thereafter received onsite National Park Service administration, continuing through its redesignation on May 27, 1992, as Hopewell Culture National Historical Park.

Mound City Group's superintendent also administered William Howard Taft National Historic Site from December 2, 1969 through December 3, 1970, and subsequently served as general superintendent of the Ohio National Park Service Group (including Mound City Group NM, William Howard Taft NHS, and Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial) from March 7, 1971 through July 15, 1975, at which point the Ohio NPS Group was abolished. In the mid to late 1990s, managers of Hopewell Culture NHP, William Howard Taft NHS, and Dayton Aviation Heritage NHP discussed sharing personnel, services, and other resources in a loosely-formed cooperative effort to be called "Southern Ohio Group."
