Fort Ancient
Facility
A major North American archaeological site, this National Historic Landmark features 3.5 miles of earthen walls enclosing mounds, gateways, and stone pavements built by the Hopewell Indians (100 B.C.–500 A.D.) and two agricultural settlements built centuries later by the Fort Ancient Indians (1000–1650 A.D.). Exhibits and educational programs at Fort Ancient State Memorial focus on the role of American Indians in Ohio from prehistoric times to the present. Appropriations totaling $3 million funded a museum expansion, exhibit renovation, site and building improvements, and a topographical survey. Construction was completed in April 1997. Exhibits were installed, and the facility reopened in spring 1998.
