Event description from the Franklin-Springboro Public Library website: The Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks are 2000-year old ceremonial sites that were created by the ancestors of American Indians. Eight earthworks, including Fort Ancient and the Newark Earthworks, were added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2023 as masterpieces of human creative genius. In this program, we’ll learn about these special places and how they relate to other American Indian sites in Ohio.
We are proud to be partnering with the Franklin-Springboro Public Library and the Carlisle Area Historical Society - Ohio
to bring this program to our community!
