  • Mound City Group
    NEARBY POINTS OF INTEREST Southern Ohio is rich in prehistoric Indian sites. Among those set aside as State memorials, administered by the MOUND CITY GROUP Ohio Historical Society, are Fort Ancient, Fort Hill, Miamisburg Mound, Newark Earthworks, Seip Mound, Ser­ pent Mound, Flint Ridge, and Carolton Cross Mound. Historical and archeological exhibits may be seen in the Ross County Historical Society Museum in Chillicothe. Many objects excavated at Mound City are on display at the Ohio Historical Center in Columbus. THE HOPEWELL PEOPLE By about 300 B.C. the prehistoric Indians we now call Hopewell had developed a distinctive culture in the Middle West. For perhaps 900 years these people flourished, their cultural zenith being here in the Scioto Valley of southern Ohio. But by about A.D. 600 the Hopewell culture had faded. Hundreds of years later European settlers found only burial mounds and ceremonial earthworks to hint at this vanished culture. AN OUTSTANDING PREHISTORIC INDIAN CULTURE The Hopewell are best known for their high artistic achievements and for their practice of erecting earth mounds over the remains of their dead. From the extra­ ordinary wealth of burial offerings found in the mounds, archeologists have learned a great deal about these pre­ historic people. They were excellent artists and craftsmen and worked with a great variety of material foreign to what is now Ohio. Copper from the Lake Superior region was used for earspools, headdresses, breastplates, ornaments, ceremonial objects, and tools. Stone effigy pipes were beautifully carved to represent the bird and animal life around them. From obsidian they made delicately chipped blades.

    This Page Intentionally Left Blank About the Cover – Fairfield County Historical Parks Blacksmith Shop at Smeck Historical Farm – top photo The blacksmith shop was often the first "commercial" structure in a village. The blacksmith was a key craftsman whose services were needed to make many of the iron components of the settlers' homes, especially nails and hinges. The Smeck Historical Village blacksmith shop was constructed by volunteers and will house a large, double- faced forge. Flight of the Hawk Sculpture Park – middle left photo The red-tailed hawk sculpture is landing atop an arch supported by six steel columns more than forty feet in the air. With a wingspan of fourteen feet, and weighing in at more than 2,500 pounds the hawk, made up of more than 3,000 pieces of steel, will provide the centerpiece of a wildlife park made out of steel sculptures. Other sculptures will be added, as donations are given, representing a variety of Ohio wildlife such as raccoons, deer, turkey, geese and many others. Appropriate landscaping and plantings will accompany each sculpture along with an explanation of the role played by this particular animal in a healthy ecosystem and the donor’s name. Rock Mill and Rock Mill Covered Bridge – middle center photo Rock Mill is Ohio’s oldest and largest gristmill. The mill was built in 1824 and was powered by a 26’ waterwheel weighing more than 8 tons. A dam 14’ high was built causing the Hocking River to flow through a sluice carved in solid sandstone 30’ long, 20’ deep and 30” wide.

Ivey History Program Division of Cultural Resources Management Intermountain Region Professional Paper No. 59 June, 2005 "Contrary to the information given to me by architects and a student of historical church architecture, the fortified church was not uncommon in the New World.

  • Ohio Archaeologist
    OHIO ARCHAEOLOGIST £M}$L'i~ VOL.3 NUfllBER 3 MEUI SERIES JULY 1953 OHIO INDIAN RELIC COLLECTORS SOCIETY COLUMBUS.OHIO Vol. 3 - No. 3, July 53 THE PRESIDENT'S PAGE The best measure of the vitality of any organization, is its rate of growth. We are getting in a lot of new members. The problem is to hold them year after year. The best way to do that is to provide them with something they can not find elsewhere. A chance to meet with people of like interests. In fact the OIRCS is getting large enough to be unwieldy. If every member should attend a meeting it would be hard to find a hall large enough to hold all of us. But I would like the chance to attend such a complete meeting. Ohio is rather a large state. To drive from its far corners to Columbus entails four or five hours steady driving for a lot of us. Some just can not do that and so they miss all the fun. Your president has given this subject a lot of thought, and he has discussed the matter with the heads of other similar state organizations. They have all advised that we do something on this order to increase interest and active participation by a greater proportion of our membership. Form a number of local chapters inside the ORICS. These would be informal with no officers except a chairman-secretary to handle correspondence between the various chapters and the parent organization. The formalities of a meeting could be dispensed with entirely.
