Hopewell Culture National Historical Park gained its status as a unit of the National Park Service shortly after the decommissioning of Camp Sherman. Camp Sherman was one of 16 regional training centers established by the United States government during World War I and the third largest in the country. 120,000 soldiers trained from 1917 until 1921. Hopewell Culture National Historical Park exists today because of the foresight of preservationists at the end of Camp Sherman's time in Chillicothe.
