See all- Humanist Program: Tour of the Newark EarthworksNewark Earthworks, Heath, OH
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
This month we will be doing something a little different - we are touring the Newark Earthworks. Because we will be on location there will be no food provided and the event will not be hybrid.
Built by the Hopewell culture between 100 BCE and 400 CE the earthworks were used by the indigenous Native Americans as places of ceremony, social gathering, trade, worship, and honoring the dead. The primary purpose of the Octagon earthwork was believed to have been scientific. Scholars have demonstrated that the Octagon Earthworks comprise a lunar observatory for tracking the Moon's orbit during its 18.6-year cycle.
Please plan to arrive by 11:45 for a tour at noon. The Earthworks are located at 455 Hebron Rd, Heath, OH 43056
