“Tour of the Octagon Earthworks in Newark, Ohio with HCCO members,” hosted by Humanist Community of Central Ohio [HCCO]

Saturday, April 12, 12noon, Octagon Earthworks, 125 N. 33rd St., Newark, Ohio

For our April program, we will be meeting at the Octagon Earthworks in Newark, Ohio at 12noon for a guided tour of the earthworks. This site was finally turned over to the Ohio History Connection on January 1 of this year and is a wonderful example of First Nation people’s knowledge of earthworks construction, mathematics and astronomy. This site is one of eight Ohio sites comprising the Hopewell Earthworks that were named last year as World Heritage Site — this is a big deal!

Join us for the tour! We suggest you arrive at least 15-30 minutes before 12noon and wear comfortable walking shoes. The address is: 125 N. 33rd St., Newark, Ohio 43055.

For a complete display and explanation of the earthworks, you may visit the Ohio Historical Center off of 17th Ave. and I-71 in Columbus.

There is no cost for this event and you do not need to RSVP; just show up!

If you have any questions, you may contact Bob Leonhard at 614-301-7436.
