Our annual meeting is coming up October 22, 2025; 6:30 p.m. at OUC Stevenson Center for members only and 7:00 p.m. open to the public.  Dr. Tim Everhart, Acting Director of Resource Stewardship, will present findings from the first three field seasons of the Hopewell Lifeways Project. This collaborative effort, undertaken with citizens and representatives of four federally recognized Tribes, seeks to deepen our understanding of the daily lives of the people who built the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks. To date, the team has completed excavation at three research locales at the Hopeton Earthworks and Seip Earthworks units of Hopewell Culture NHP. The results significantly reshape our understanding of the area’s agrarian history and offer new insights into the use and occupation of these important places. Chris Alford, HCNHP Superintendent will give an update on the improvement projects currently taking place at the park.

Exciting news! We're planning a November bus trip to the Ohio History Connection. Stay tuned for all the details—check our website, follow us on Facebook, and be sure to open our emails!
