Adena Mansion was built for Thomas Worthington by Benjamin Latrobe. It is located west of downtown Chillicothe, Ohio. The property surrounding the mansion included the location of the first mound found to belong to the Adena culture (see Ohio History Central) and thus the Adena people were named after Adena Mansion.

Thomas Worthington recorded that he chose Adena as the name for his estate because it referred to "places remarkable for the delightfulness of their situation." The museum at Adena has an exhibit which claims Adena is based on a Hebrew word.
