Understand Ross County’s Prehistoric Past through Artifacts.

Featuring Gary Argabright, retired educator, collector & authority on prehistoric cultures of the Scioto River Valley, Chillicothe.

Gary Argabright will discuss Ross County’s place in our understanding of North America’s prehistoric people and the Ross County Historical Society’s role in preserving and disseminating a record of it. Gary has been collecting, cataloging, and researching Native American artifacts from the Scioto River Valley for more than 35 years. He has accumulated and documented artifacts from some 60 different area farms and sites. Gary has been actively involved in the Mound City Chapter of the Archaeological Society of Ohio since 1987 and currently serves as its secretary and treasurer.  He also served on the Historical Society’s board of trustees for 9 years, chaired its collections committee, and assisted with updating and renovating the museum’s prehistoric artifact exhibit. He continues to help with care and study of the Society’s extensive prehistoric artifact collection and will utilize items from the collection in his presentation which will focus on the development of prehistoric stone tools and how they were used.
