Join us at the Octagon Earthworks Visitor Center on the third Thursday of each month as we welcome experts from multiple fields speaking on topics connected to how we understand and learn about Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks; from archaeological and indigenous perspectives to stories about how Earthworks have been preserved and protected.

This program is geared toward adults (ages 18+) although we encourage high schoolers to attend as well. The program will consist of a 45-minute talk given by an expert and a 15-minute question-and-answer session. Doors will open at 6:30 pm, the lecture will begin promptly at 7 p.m.

Admission: $10/adult; Free/Ohio History Connection member or student with ID.
