(Adams County) – To mark the June 21 summer solstice, the longest day of the year, The Ohio History Connection is again partnering with the Shawnee Tribe and the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma to bring you programming that showcases the significance of Serpent Mound as a sacred American Indian site.
Speakers are planned at 11am and 5pm each day, Saturday, June 18 through Tuesday, June 21. Guided tours of Serpent Mound are scheduled at 2pm and 8pm each day.
Speakers at the four-day event are expected to include:
• Chief Ben Barnes of the Shawnee Tribe
• Chief Glenna Wallace of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma
• Dr. Bret Ruby of Hopewell Culture National Historical Park and the National Park Service
• Burt Logan, Jenn Aultman, Dr. Brad Lepper, Bill Kennedy and Megan Wood of the Ohio History Connection
Please note that the Serpent Mound observation tower, which was built in 1908, is closed for the season because of needed repairs. The project is in the planning phase, and work is expected to begin later this year.
