APPENDIX B
ANNUAL VISITATION FIGURES
Opening of the Highway 35/50 Bypass in 1968 resulted in a dip in
attendance with many complaints received concerning lack of directional
signs. In late December 1969, Mound City Group reported its
one-millionth visitor. [See "Mound City Visitor Total Crosses
One-Million Mark," Chillicothe Gazette (27 February 1970)]. In
the late 1970s, NPS instituted a different method of gathering and
calculating visitation data, thereby explaining the apparent visitation
drop. In recent years, adoption of an entrance fee explains declining
or flattening of visitation figures.
