Fort Ancient Celebration
Fort Ancient features 18,000 feet of earthen walls built 2,000 years ago by American Indians, the Hopewell. The Hopewell used the shoulder blades of deer, split elk antlers, clam shell hoes and digging sticks to dig the dirt. Then, carried the soil in baskets holding up to 40 pounds. In conjunction with the sun and the moon portions of the earthen wall provide a calendar system for the Hopewell.
Because of its significance, Fort Ancient was purchased by the state of Ohio in 1891 and became Ohio's first state park. n addition, this is part of the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks, one of 14 sites nominated in January 2008 by the Department of Interior for potential submission by the United States to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
