Traveler's Guide to Ancient Ohio Lecture & Book Launch

Are you looking forward to great road trips this summer? Join Professor John Hancock for a glimpse into his book of unique travel experiences and routes featuring ancient Ohio's world-class sites and heritage.

He is presenting "Traveler’s Guide to Ancient Ohio," a compact, richly illustrated, and in-depth travel guide to the Indigenous earthwork wonders of southern Ohio—some of the most extraordinary ancient monuments in North America. Featuring the eight newly inscribed UNESCO World Heritage sites, this is the first publication to present these places from a traveler’s perspective, offering deeply informative site descriptions alongside curated routes to historical, scenic, and natural treasures across the region.

Tickets are free, and can be reserved on our website. Books will be available for purchase at the event.
