Great place. Enjoy the usual quietude and ask a lot of questions. There are a couple different locations to visit in the area. Look for their Harness series lectures and try to attend any you are interested in.

An amazing place! When at the visitor center, be sure to see the short film which provides an explanation about the earthworks and some insights into the brilliance of the native American culture that built them. The earthworks are impressive!

Museum was closed but Park is open till dusk. Enjoyed reading the information outside and want to go back. We had to cut visit short due to rain. Great place to have a picnic

Fascinating place. The short but informative movie was extremely interesting. I was born and raised about an hour away. Never found it for 50 years. Worth the trip know matter where you come from. I drove an extra sixty miles after hearing the history. Glad I did.

Great stop to take while learning about the history of Ohio and the Native people that used to live here. The visitor center is great and the area is beautiful.
