Mound’s history is
mostly unwritten
The public archives hold just one old photo of Mound. The rest are in attics, shoeboxes and the historical society. Help start the collection.
The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The village took its name from a Native American mound at the original site. In a 2019 feature, local residents and officials noted that Mound was incorporated in c. 1917 and that early activity included a hotel, a general store by the railroad, and a small sawmill east of the settlement.

Nothing in Mound is on the National Register yet
That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Mound has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Montrose Plantation House in Richmond, 6.7 miles away.
