Plan your visit to the Octagon Earthworks, which has been open to the public since Jan. 1, 2025!

The Octagon grounds are open to the public daily during daylight hours every day of the year. During the winter, guided tours are offered at noon Wednesdays through Sundays. Tours begin at the Octagon Earthworks Visitor Center, which is open 11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. on those days.

Expanded Visitor Center hours, more tours and programs and a retail space will be added this spring, so check back for more details.
