Campbell.[3] Shrum Mound is located within Campbell Park, which is named after James E. Campbell.
In 2015, the Ohio History Connection removed the 18 or so trees located on top of the mound, citing preservation as the reason.[4] One concern was the possibility of a strong storm knocking down a tree and causing damage to the mound.[4]
