The tour highlights both well-known features and lesser-known remnants that are easy to miss, starting and ending at the Great Circle Museum.
This is a great outing for families interested in archaeology and Ohio's indigenous heritage. Bring comfortable walking shoes, plenty of water, and dress appropriately for the season.
