Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Built approximately 2,000 years ago by the Native Americans that inhabited the area, Fort Ancient is an incredibly well-preserved earthworks enclosure perched on top of a hill. It's believed that the structure was built for special ceremony purposes, and visitors can learn about the culture and history of the people who created it at the on-site museum. There is also a replica Hopewell era house and garden designed to show visitors how people lived during the time of the earthwork builders. Guided tours of the site are only available for groups of 20 people or more, but visitors are welcome to explore on their own.
