Once again the Hopewell Culture National Historic Park at Chillicothe will sponsor the Robert L. Harness Lecture Series. The programs are held every Thursday night through June and July at the Mound City Visitors Center located on State Route 104 north of Chillicothe and feature recent archaeological investigations in the Ross County area and beyond as conducted by some of todays leading researchers. The first lecture of this years series will be presented on June 5th by Dr. Paul Pacheco of Geneseo College in New York, highlighting his 2011 work at the Hopewell Earthworks in Ross County. The lectures begin at 7:30 and are free and open to the public. These lectures have become quite popular in recent years so try to arrive a little early to make sure you have a seat.
