Park Visitor: Comments, Memories and Reviews
October 18 Wonderful Autumn Activity by Plane Jane
The guided walking tour with the archaeologist is informative and entertaining. The science and scope of the earthworks amazed us. The museum holds a wealth of information, but the real treasure is found by walking the area. Packing a picnic would have been worthwhile.
October 19 Fabulous for kids by enviro ed lady
This is the best museum on park grounds I have ever visited. It is interesting in the context of site history through the ages, as well as informative for all ages. Youths studying native american culture will find it of particular interest. The staff is quite helpful, but the state needs to fund more educators to help interpret. Hiking trails provide terrific vistas. Many emenities for family use.
December 7 Tranquility and Beauty by Bob Kelso
Fort Ancient is steeped in prehistoric history and beauty. One of the most beautiful and tranquil parks in Ohio. Great hiking trails for the novice or experienced hiker.
