Administered by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Indiana State Museums and Historic Sites, it is one of 16 state museums and historic sites. In 1964 this major complex of earthworks was designated a National Historic Landmark because of its significance. It is named after the Angel family who in the early 19th century owned the property on which it is located along the Ohio River.

Famous quotes containing the word angel:
“But virtue, as it never will be moved,
Though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven,
So lust, though to a radiant angel linked,
Will sate itself in a celestial bed
And prey on garbage.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
