A series of week-long events are planned at seven of the eight Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks sites.

After years of legal battles, the day is nearly here when the Octagon Earthworks in Newark will be fully opened to the public. The mounds are part of the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks, which were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2023.

It's been one year since Ohio's Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Visitation locally at Fort Ancient Earthworks & Nature Preserve is seeing an increase.

Ohio History Connection says it has reached a deal with Moundbuilders Country Club on a sale price for land that includes the Octagon Earthworks, an ancient Native American earthwork.

A number of sites in the Greater Cincinnati region won a recent round of grant funding from the state of Ohio.

In another set-back for the owners of a Licking County golf course, the Ohio Supreme Court has decided not to take up a case involving Ohio History Connection and the Moundbuilders Country Club.

The case will now return to the court in Licking County unless it's appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court.

Every December, on the shortest day of the year as fall officially gives way to winter, a feat of ancient astronomy and mathematics is on display in the Southwestern Ohio community of Oregonia.

The Ohio Supreme Court ruled last year in favor of the Ohio History Connection's bid to reclaim land it leases to a golf course. Now, a jury is slated to determine how much the historical society must pay to Moundbuilders Country Club.

Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks is the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in Ohio.
