Infirmary Mound Park, which is located just south of the Village and managed by the Licking Park District, is named for the prehistoric "Infirmary Mound" located on the grounds. Alligator Mound lies within the boundaries of the Village, another small mound is located in Salt Run Park, and an early settlement site has been conserved by the Granville Township Trustees in Raccoon Valley Park. There is evidence of ancient settlement in the Village and Township as represented by the historic mounds in the region.
