Midwest Archaeology

Ancient History surrounds us in the Midwest. Learn about archaeological sites in Ohio and how you can explore them. Discover the importance and symbolism of these sites as we consider our modern connections to nature in relation to Ohio’s early inhabitants. Guest speaker is William H. Pickard, Curator of Archaeology at Ohio History Connection.
