Shrum Mound is one of the last remaining conical burial mounds around the city of Columbus,Ohio. The 23 ft. high, 100ft. diameter mound is located in the one acre Campbell roadside park, donated by James E. Campbell, Governor of Ohio (1890-1892). The mound was named for the pioneer family whose farm was located on the property. The mound was built approximately 2,000 years ago, by the Adena people. The grass covered mound has steps leading to it's summit, where you may see the high rise buildings of Columbus. The site is surrounded on three sides by marble cliff quaries. It's sister mound, the Teopner Mound, was excavated by the Ohio Historical Society around twenty-five years ago; it contained a great deal of Adena material. The Shrum Mound is situated by the Scioto River, facing McKinnley Avenue.

An M. Schramm mentioned in Napolean Bonapart's Memoirs; a passage from them reads thus:"...There was found on him a bulletin which he was about to transmit to me, and he only escaped certain death by having in his possesion a letter of recommendation from a Hamburg merchant well known to M. Alopaeus, the Russian Minister in their city. This precaution, which I had taken before he set out, saved his life. M. Alopaeus replied to the merchant that, in consequence of his recommendation the spy should be sent back safe and sound, but for the inconceivable coolness he displayed under the most trying circumstances. Though the bulletin which was found upon him was addressed to M. Schramm, merchant, they strongly suspected that it was intended for me..."
