Spring Speakers Series 2023 RCHS – Rediscovering Chillicothe’s Forgotten Prehistoric Mounds

May 3, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Rediscovering Chillicothe’s Forgotten Prehistoric Mounds featuring Gary Argabright, retired educator and noted authority o prehistoric artifacts of the Scioto River Valley, Chillicothe.

Wednesday, May 3, 7:30pm

The area which we think of as Ross County was once a center of prehistoric mound-building and geometric earthen construction. Hundreds of mounds and dozens of earthen circles, squares, and walls dotted the landscape, but today many of these have been plowed down by farming or completely destroyed to make way for residential and business development. It would have been a truly awe-inspiring experience to behold this remarkable man-made landscape, but today we can imagine some semblance of tis former glory.

Join Gary as he discusses his research into a line of mounds which once dotted the landscape known to early archeologists as Chillicothe’s “northwest quadrant” in an effort to re-establish their now-forgotten locations and physical features.
