Did you that Ohio is home to eight wonders of the world?

The Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks UNESCO World Heritage site includes eight separate monumental earthworks that were built by the ancient Indigenous Hopewell culture between about 1 and 400 CE. The sites include the Great Circle and Octagon Earthworks in Newark, the Fort Ancient Earthworks near Lebanon, and the five earthworks that make up Hopewell Culture National Historical Park in and around Chillicothe. In this program we'll be joined by Dr. Brad Lepper, senior archaeologist for the Ohio History Connection's World Heritage Program, to learn why these ancient American Indian earthworks were inscribed on the World Heritage List.
