The Hopewell people built an earthworks embankment wall at Fort Ancient that surrounds approximately 125 acres of the plateau during their presence between the first century BC and the sixth century AD.
Visitors also will learn the importance of Fort Ancient and the natural world at the free summer solstice event.
The summer solstice is known as the longest day of the year because in the Northern Hemisphere it’s the day that receives the most hours of daylight. It receives the most sunlight because Earth is tilted toward the sun for the longest time during a day.
