COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s historical society announced a deal Thursday that will allow it to take control of an ancient ceremonial and burial earthworks site
FILE - The clubhouse of the private Moundbuilders Country Club , the site of the Octagon Earthworks , is seen in Newark, Ohio, on May 24, 2024. Ohioâs historical society has struck a deal that will allow it to take control of ancient ceremonial and burial earthworks located on a golf course east of Columbus. The settlement announced Thursday, Aug.
“Our guiding principles throughout this process have been to enable full public access to the Octagon Earthworks while ensuring Moundbuilders Country Club receives just compensation for the value of its lease on the property,” said Megan Wood, executive director and CEO of the Ohio History Connection. “And now we have accomplished those things.”
Native Americans constructed the earthworks, including eight long earthen walls, that correspond to lunar movements and align with points where the moon rises and sets over the 18.6-year lunar cycle. The History Connection calls them “part cathedral, part cemetery and part astronomical observatory.”
