An Evening with John E. Hancock

Come spend an evening learning about Ohio's ancient history with author John E. Hancock at the Ohio History Center. Hancock has dedicated much of his career to studying and documenting the Hopewell culture, and he'll share insights from his books *Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks: Landscape Monuments of the Ancient Ohio Valley* and *Traveler's Guide to Ancient Ohio*. As a key figure in getting these important historical sites recognized by UNESCO, he brings real expertise and passion to the subject. This is a great opportunity for families curious about the region's Indigenous heritage and archaeological significance. Hancock will discuss his work throughout the evening, and if you're interested in learning more, you can purchase his books at the Ohio History Store and have them signed by the author. It's an educational and intimate way to connect with local history.
