The Norton Mound Group, also known as Norton Mound Site (20KT1) and Hopewell Indian Mounds Park, is a prehistoric site located in Wyoming, Michigan. It is under the protection of the Grand Rapids Public Museum and is considered to be the most important and best-preserved Hopewell mounds in the western Great Lakes region. The site was the center of Hopewellian culture from around 400 B.C. to A.D. 400, with the mounds likely constructed in the first century AD. The site was named after Captain A.N. Norton, who owned the property in the 1800s. Excavations in the late 1800s and early 1900s revealed numerous burials with rich grave offerings. The site was listed on the Michigan Register of Historic Sites in 1957 and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965. The mounds range in size from 30 feet in diameter to 100 feet in diameter and contain burial pits with human remains and various burial goods. The site is currently closed to the public but efforts are being made to assess and protect the area from erosion, flooding, and nearby development.
