Hopeton Earthworks Tour

On this 1.3 mile walking tour you will discover a masterpiece of monumental landscape architecture built by Native Americans as a sacred ceremonial center almost 2000 years ago. You will see remnants of earthen walls that once stood up to 12 feet tall, outlining huge geometric figures in the shape of circles, squares, and a parallel-walled avenue aligned to the winter solstice sunset. You will learn about Native peoples' connections to the plants, animals, and geology of the Scioto River valley.
