OHIO NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online Deal offered to run ancient Indian site in Ohio July 04, 2009 10:17 AM OREGONIA, Ohio A nonprofit group in Dayton has offered to take over management of Fort Ancient, a prehistoric Indian site in southwest Ohio. If approved by state officials, Fort Ancient would be the 34th of 58 Ohio Historical Society sites to be managed by a private entity. The state has been making these deals under pressure from state budget cuts. Under the plan, the Dayton Society of Natural History would operate the 100-acre site near Oregonia. The historical society would still be responsible for capital improvements. George Kane, director of historic sites for the Ohio Historical Society, says the transition to new management could take place by Aug. 1. Fort Ancient's series of earthen walls were built by Native Americans of the prehistoric Hopewell culture, which used the land for ceremonial and social gatherings.
